I fear that some people are pushing for such a stupid thing. And
because there are people stupidly pushing for such a stupid thing,
such a stupid thing will be created by greedy people willing to take
of people's stupid push.

Programming language certification exams aren't worth anything to
anyone who is worth working for. I'll never work for someone who would
require or prefer a certification, because it means that they don't
actually value contributor input and view people as equally
interchangeable.

I'd argue that this applies to most computer certification programs,
if not all, but I suspect that there are a few certification programs
that are worthwhile. I suspect that they're not related to
technologies, though, but to particular processes that are required to
make certain equipment or software that involves extremely low error
tolerances, such as space shuttle software or pacemaker software.
