I posted this comment yesterday buried in some thread and even though it was buried it still got 37 up votes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22821318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22821318 I post a similar comment in this thread and it gets downvoted to user flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22831474 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22831474 Perhaps the largest handicap in developer hiring is bias as evident by the stark contrast in response to these two comments that convey identical sentiments about the same subject with slightly different language and yet receive opposite response. A company is a absolutely not objective in their candidate selection if developers are the deciding factor in the hiring of other developers.
