Slightly off topic, but the url seems to be conflict with a user called "certifications". You can find that user using GitHub api or Mobile app, but you can't view his profile page on desktop.
Their profile page is broken as you mentioned.

Taking a look at the sample questions provided (questions and correct answers): Q4: Which licensing statement best describes a project to be truly open source? * it is recommended to choose a license because without it, the default copyright laws apply (technically correct but yeah) Q5: Which statements are true about GitHub Marketplace? * a digital catalog with hundreds of software listings from independent software…
Github recommended that you choose a license even before MS acquisition

Personally I've found certifications are a good way to show you're good at passing certifications, and nothing else. I have nothing against people who show up with their resumes filled with them, but it's not a valuable indicator in my opinion. I'd rather see what they've built. Show me some useful things on your github or blog. That I can see value in. Obviously we're talking about software-related certs, not pilots…
> Personally I've found certifications are a good way to show you're good at passing certifications, and nothing else. Some are good.

I did not bother renewing it though, after 3yrs expired :)

The main problematic thing about this is that it can be used as a way for Microsoft to push their beliefs and agendas. It further centralizes git even more. For example (extreme case to make a point), imagine if the questions were like: 1) Which is the most reliable git platform? (a) github (b) gitlab (c) gitweb 2) Which is the best license for new code? (a) MIT (b) GPLv3 (c) ALv2 3) Which is better for coding? (a) s…
Emphasis on "can be"; nobody's stopping the competition for coming up with similar schemes, and while they have the biggest market / mindshare when it comes to git / open source hosting, they are definitely not the only one and the alternatives are great. I can see how it's a bit like indoctrination though, but as another thread mentions, the AWS certification isn't that different; the first certification you can ach…
In other words, AWS certifications suck too. I don't see how that excuses MS or GH.

When recruiting, I usually take certifications as a token of the lack of skills rather than a demonstration of skills
