What Are You Doing Right Now

In a job where you need to "know" how to do something, knowledge matters. In a job where you have to be certified regardless of what you know, a cert matters.
Passing a cert only tells us you can memorize answers, tells us nothing of if you understand the material (CompTIA certs are famous for this.) So the cert itself doesn't even tell us much of anything about the knowledge that someone has. It just tells us if someone felt it valuable to pay for a piece of paper and spend some time on it.
Just look at the people learning the material now. Some of the learning is valuable, but the cert is not. That we see the cert as literally being a negative for them in their jobs and their careers, but the knowledge for it being so valuable as for some of it to be critical, should prove the point. The two cannot be connected if one is valuable and one is worthless. If they were connected, their values would be connected.
Just like the tooth brushing example.

It is a quiet night and we have a new NodeBB release. So we are going to do that tonight. MongoDB is backing up now.

That's the issue here. They can both be valuable, they can both be worthless. What makes them such isn't the cert or material, but the job or recruiters.
My PhD in brain surgery as well as all material used to obtain it can also be valuable or worthless, depending on the job and context that is requiring it.

Our other sites only take a few seconds actually. It's the sheer size of ML that causes issues.
