I wonder if you could use this in an interview...

  This is great idea, if your goal is to not hire anyone.
  • bl4k 16y ago
    except HN readers
    • gokhan 16y ago
      How many of them can understand this?
      • jonursenbach 16y ago
        Before or after this article was posted?
• gcb 16y ago
  easy. show it to him and ask "in 1 to 5, how does that code look like the code you ship to production currently". any answer other than "Zero" or "wtf-look", do not hire.

    > any answer other than "Zero" or "wtf-look", do not hire. What if you're hiring someone to test for XSS exploits?
    • MichaelApproved 16y ago
      Testing for XSS exploits isn't production code so the answer should still be zero.
      • Natsu 16y ago
        It could certainly appear in the source of an XSS scanner that tried to inject code like that everywhere it could find.
