No point getting certified

This discussion on Slashdot.org hits the nail about IT certifications. Its just a hoax and meant only for the HR. Why the HR? They get an easy metric to evaluate a candidate and saves them the trouble of really carrying a rigorous filtering process. Although Certifications do indicate a certain level of competance, it doesn't mean the candidate is good for developing industrial-strength applications.

Conclusion: Certifications is of no use. Waste of time. Atleast for me.
