Can you give any names and/or accomplishments to support that claim?

Personally, I haven't bumped into enough NC A&T grads to form my own opinions.

Can you do the same for say Duke? Even Googling, I couldn't find an obvious CS superstar name or practical everyone-knows-them Jeff Dean-type. And the whole point of the article is exactly that in the insular tech circles and parties we move in, we don't get to hear or see from the NC A&T folks.

Their CS degrees were from Harvard and Cornell.

I was just looking for some reasonable way to decide if the OP's claim about NC A&T grads was true.

I asked about noted accomplishments simply because I couldn't think of any better way (within reason) to evaluate OP's claim. I'd be happy to hear other approaches.
