Is the implication here that seeing that they have a degree is better than what "lots and lots of places" do?

Personally, I think a degree doesn't say much about a person's ability to do what is required in the job.

Maybe we should just get better at giving skill tests in interviews.

Testing whether they can remember a specific leetcode question is worse than checking for a degree.

Is that controversial?
