But that's a counterexample to the OP's thesis that "it doesn't take much". An "NES emulator that is cycle accurate and supports a game with a specialized chip that I reverse engineered that no other emulator supported" is a MASSIVE undertaking that would take a huge amount of time and effort. I would certainly give a candidate like that a second look - if NES emulators were remotely related to the kind of skills I was looking for.

- whatshisface 5y agoYou're presupposing that the hiring manager would be able to tell what skills are involved in making an NES emulator, or even what skills they are looking for.
