Ask HN: Certificates any good?

3 points by odonnellryan 12y ago ↗ HN

Thinking about getting a CompSci certificate from Harvard. Partially for the challenge, something to do, and "why not," but I would like to also have some opinions if such a certificate would be beneficial towards a programming/project manager career.

Although I can't speak from experience, I think building something useful and collaborating with others on projects might help you the same, if not more, than a certificate.
