Education is only useful in the first 10 years after school. Then it's not that important anymore. But it is a good predictor of what parts of the coding culture they care about, like building things from scratch vs reusing libraries, quick vs quality work, foundations vs hacking, science vs intuition, etc.

Hmm? If you’re self taught you would be less likely to use existing libraries? Or the other way around?
Self taught is too broad. Self taught from where, when and which high schools?
Most universities/schools train for a given style. It usually follows the professors style. You can find some variance, but it is largely predictive. When you are hiring and need a certain angle to your team, a recruiter can easily find the most likely places to find them.
