The Five Warning Signs in Programmer Resumes

I think this blog post makes too many assumptions, and I don't put any stock in it. Besides spelling mistakes on a resume the only flag I see in his post is someone with a MS in CS and an undergrad in something random. Many of those people who were 'retrained' are far less qualified than people with just undergrad degrees in CS. However, I have known many people in who fit that profile who are great programmers.

Basically, the degree doesn't mean everything; so lets not put it before everything else.

The only use I have for a resume is determining the chances of the applicant stabbing me during the interview. It's almost impossible to qualify/disqualify a candidate before the interview stage.
