In any thread that is (remotely) about employers requiring degrees for software engineers, or anything that has to do with working at/for Google, he is (irrationally) vocal about the worthlessness of degrees, how much Google sucks, and in general how much software people are discriminates against / should be paid more. From a quick google it even seems he has a blog about this.
Look, I don't know the guy - apparently he worked for Google for a (very) short time, had a semi-public falling out with a bunch of people there, and since then got into a couple of nasty flamewars with Google'ers (and others, from what I can tell) here and elsewhere. I don't care one way or the other really, to me (and to many regulars here, methinks) he's like one of those street preachers wearing 'repent now' and 'the devil is amongst us' buttons; a part of the urban scenery that is best not engaged with, lest you'll spend the rest of your day going back-and-forth in an 'argument' that can't be 'won' (even for the most lenient definition of 'won').
But if I'm mistaking the GP for somebody else, my apologies.
