I totally agree!

I personally check out courses to learn new concepts and perspectives I can incorporate into my career.

Certificates don’t translate to proficiency if you don’t build experience on the knowledge acquired.

Ultimately, CS recruiters don’t ask for certificates, but for experience-built CS skills.

Thank you for the engagement, Gladys!

Keyword - "CS Recruiters" I mean, only those who are not well-vast in the field would be attracted to cert-holders. Courses are absolutely a yes, certifications too, but we must know the value of experience-driven attributes

Certification without practical knowledge is worthless.

Thank you the comment, Maryjane!

Few of us in CS become so certificate-centric, forgetting to level up practical knowledge
