Yep, anecdotal evidence :)

I will say, where I am now (bay area FANG company) it is WAY more common to have traditional CS background and also be a high performer.

I attribute that to a biased selection in SV, and not an actual correlation of CS education to higher skill level.

Regarding the bias, I think it's the same way here, to be honest. My sample size for California (employer) is n = 1, and we do work that is both technically challenging and fun, so we attract and can only realistically take on those kinds of people.
