GitHub Certifications (Beta)
I&#x27;ve seen those with AWS certifications be unable to put anything together on AWS and I&#x27;ve seen exceptional engineers with plenty of production AWS experience fail the certifications.<p>Security experts fail to get CISSP qualifications, while those who can barely use a computer pass. The security industry considers CISSP to be a bit of a joke for this reason.<p>This sort of certification is in my experience, sought out by those who don&#x27;t have much else to show, and therefore is often correlated with not being very good. You can learn by rote and pass with no understanding to tick an easy box.<p>I think it&#x27;s a shame GitHub is getting into this, but cynically it makes sense for them.
