"To be fair, "You got caught smoking pot a decade ago, and therefore we cannot trust you to write Python code" isn't the kind of judgment a successful company would pass. That's the kind of thing a doomed company would do." I don't feel that's really relevant, and the person who is trying to get back on their feet likely doesn't care. They just want a damn job. "Honestly, people who commit crimes against their employers do this to themselves" Not many do. In fact, I'd say far more employers commit crimes against their employees than the other way around. And yet, they don't have to worry.
