Still, it's objective in the sense that anybody who comes with a
certificate has successfully memorized the information in the course.
It's also proof that the candidate had enough interest in Haskell to
invest significant time for obtaining a certificate.
It's a minimal foundation that employers can assume so they don't have
to check that themselves, they can concentrate on other aspects, and
it's a known stable foundation, minimal as it may be.
Nothing of that is a full picture of a candidate's developer
personality, but nothing is anyway.
