Codebase fraud is rampant too. The company has very excellent coding and test interviews but the codebase is just shit.

  > The company has very excellent coding and test interviews but the codebase is just shit. It is also possible that this is because of all the fraud developers they've hired. A "company" is not a person. It doesn't produce shit code itself. While management can also be a source of bad codebase, it is usually the developers.

    Oh? Do you not blame the front office of a sports time for failing to win a championship or assembling a shitty team?

      No, because resume fraud is very rare in sports. What is expected from an athlete is very clear. If they can't run x metres in y seconds then they are out. This is not so clear cut in software development, so yes, I don't blame management when they accidentally hire an incompetent, fraud developer. Obviously it is a different story when management hires good developers but can't maintain a good workplace culture, apply unnecessary time pressure, don't pay them enough etc.
