Good read but not a strong fit for writing

Quick Take

This is a solid but predictable take on college grade inflation that doesn't offer much fresh insight beyond "colleges are broken and admitting too many people." While Brian might have opinions on credential inflation in tech hiring, this WSJ opinion piece is too removed from his daily work and interests to spark immediate writing.

Relevant Domains

Engineering craft/architecture/productivity - Tangentially related to skills-based vs credential-based hiring Side projects/automation/earning from skills - Could connect to alternative paths to traditional education
