Comment school is irrelevant for skilled programmer (Score 1) 612

I'm tech director in a AAA game company, I haven't finished high school. I can tell you that when I read a resume I just skip the education part. Actually if someone goes on ranting about what he did in school for 2 pages, makes me feel that this person doesn't understand what counts and how irrelevant some tiny school project is. To be a good developer you need passion for what you do, school can't tech you what we need, you need to learn it yourself in your sparetime. I'm more impressed if a guy has made mature open source project than if he has 2000 PhDs. I'm not suggesting to not go to school, is still a good starting point, but fore really skilled programmers is not that important, school is not gonna make you askilled programmer anyway.
