Only a nonhacker would care about degrees...

Obviously, they're nonhackers, which is why they seek a "hacker dude." How would you advise nonhackers to evaluate hackers?

I doubt there's really a good answer to that question. Looking for a degree is probably not the worst answer, though it may not be the best either (probably better than asking them what beverage they drink, which is presumably to establish their stuffwhitepeoplelike cred).

This looks like a reasonable advertisement for a first technical hire at a somewhat flaky startup self-evident web marketing competence. (yes, we're onto your game) What's the big deal?

but dude, machine learning! You will eat your words once Sproost makes Strong AI.

I don't get the impression that a degree is a requirement. Sounds like they just want to get beer with people, tell them about the idea, and see if they can find someone who is also passionate about their idea.

What beverage would you ask them to buy you? I'd ask for a Becks. What does that say about me? I dunno.

Becks says you enjoy beer, aren't a beer snob, but likely don't drink to excess regularly in my professional opinon.

If you said Natural Ice...clearly either a drinking problem or stuck in the college days.

Arrogant bastard? Beer snob.

Smirnoff Ice? wtf?
