Scott Hanselman thinks signing your name with a bunch of certifications is gauche:
If it's silly to suggest putting my SATs on my resume, why is ..Scott Hanselman, MCSD, MCT, MCP, MC*.*
.. reasonable? Having a cert means you have a capacity to hold lots of technical stuff in your head. Full stop. I propose we sign our names like this:
Scott Hanselman, 11 Successful Large Projects, 3 Open Source Applications, 1 Colossal Failure
Wouldn't that be nice?
Jeff at Coding Horror comments on Scott's post but contends that Scott has it backwards; the credentials should show the number of failed projects first. From the point of view that you learn more from your mistakes than your successes I'd have to say he's right.
