Comment on Ask HN: Am I at a disadvantage for not attending Stanford, MIT, etc?

Yes, there is a "club", and no, you are not part of it.

This will hurt you for a few years. But, it's really only about what you are about to achieve: become a great developer, build amazing things, and nothing else will matter. Can you be the best? Ignore the degree and try.

Degrees, in the end, are just like floaties: they guarantee you won't drown, but they don't win Olympics.

love the quote "Degrees, in the end, are just like floaties: they guarantee you won't drown, but they don't win Olympics"
