>Long ago, he joined a company fresh out of college that pretty much measured dev productivity with number of lines written. He quickly realized that it was a red-flag, but jumping ship so soon was going to be hard to explain on a resume. Sorry to hijack your comment, but I would like to say: There are many, many good reasons why someone would want to quit a job after only a short period of time at a company (harassment being an obvious one). It took me a long time to realize this fact, and stop viewing a quick departure as a potential red flag and also stop asking questions like "Why are you looking for a new role?" Someone leaving a toxic environment really doesn't want to spend any part of the interview talking about the past; they want to show you they will be a valuable member of your team, while also learning if your company is one they want to work for. We should all consider that the next time we are reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates.
