No Peter is right. I'm not that great of a programmer I'll admit. I
could be better. I have met developers who are far better and are far
more impressive than me. I'll be honest, I'm not a genius.

Though not all certifications are considered worthless. The SCJA and the
SCJP are pretty well respected within the Java communities. They're
taken pretty seriously. MCSE is also pretty well regarded and some
companies even require them.

I actually use brainbench certifications pretty regularly. They're
convenient for testing yourself against others and also getting a
somewhat standard idea of whats worth knowing within a specific topic.
Books and authors can vary on what they cover and consider worth
covering -- a standardized test that test people from multiple
backgrounds helps one to know where one stands. Also brainbench offers a
pretty substantial list of tests for a huge variety of technical topics.
It usefully to know which technologies one is strongest and weakest in
-- or have an idea of, at the very least. I don't think it's much
different from reading a math textbook -- you can't really understand
the topic without attempting some of the problem.

Standardize testing isn't necessarily worthless.

Though obviously, not all communities respect specific certifications
offered within a community. That's why I asked.
