Yeah, that was the only one I immediately questioned. Many companies that I've worked for as a contractor were permanently looking for developers, and I was their more-expensive plan B. The problem was that they either just didn't get enough applicants, or the ones who did apply proved incompetent right away. In one company they were so desperate that they blindly hired someone who appeared to have a pretty decent track record. After two full weeks of him not asking any questions and producing code that seemed 'off', I got suspicious. Under the pretense of needing some help with a trivial bug, I sat down next to him and observed, in total shock, that he didn't know even the most basic keyboard shortcuts like copy and paste or alt-tab. I'm not sure how he managed to write any code at all and suspect he outsourced it... Of course, the real problem is that these companies are not willing to pay competitive salaries...
