Sorry, I didn't mean to sound dismissive. I've written this comment on mobile, in a short time, which proved to be a bad idea.

I wanted to say "I don't believe GPA to be a good indicator regarding capabilities and intelligence of a person". That dismissive sounding "No" was a direct answer to

> I'm not sure your GPA really matters even for your first job.

And, I tried to say "No, it doesn't matter from my perspective".

> I don't think your experience is representative.

It's certainly possible. I was not an ordinary student when I was an undergrad due to both my past and my interest in computers.
