Some people in BTC comment that CSW isn't techy enough or can't code. He can code, but he's gone way past that. After all, an architect doesn't swing the hammer anymore. He's a high level information systems and security professional. His qualifications are quite stunning.
He has 3 Masters in Info security, a Masters in IT Management, a Masters in Networking / System Admin and incredible experience in the field. CSW has some of the toughest certifications to obtain including CISM, CISSP, GIAC GSEC and GIAC GSE plus a few dozen other GIAC certs. All 4 of those are commonly listed as hardest to obtain and most prestigious in the IT security field.
But the GIAC GSE is the king. (As of 2017 only 187 people). As this article states
"the irony of the GSE is that anyone capable of getting it doesn’t need it to get a job in security. They can already work pretty much wherever they want to."
If you can't believe it you can verify these at the Universities and GIAC website.
Would be a good guy to hire if you wanted to design and build a secure global network.
"Australia will be home to the world's first IT Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) Security Expert (GSE) in Compliance and Audits after a local information systems manager completes the final leg of the gruelling course in September.
Only 11 people from Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States have completed the Las Vegas-based SANS Institute GSE exam since its inception in 2003. To complete the strict criteria, an applicant must complete four SANS certifications and achieve a "gold" status in two of them."
I'm assuming it's part of some presentation? and this explains how to compile code, not actually write code
I'm still waiting for something resembling a product, maybe a library, or anything with some kind of logic, that Craig actually wrote himself. Something more intricate than "return a + b;" please.

most certs are dogshit. They cost a fuckton of money to achieve, not skill. There's a high chance most of those certs have braindumps from pajeets available online that you can just study for 100% scores. Besides, only people that have no clue care about certs since the people that do know their shit will figure out if someone is legit good or just another pretender (like CSW is)
The more certs someone has, the more bullshit they'll vomit everywhere. Generally you put those people on projects for high paying naive clients since they'll keep paying even if nothing gets done. This lets the actual good devs do fun and innovative projects since they can be funded that way.
