FWIW, this is exactly how we recruit at my startup. In fact I was a little worried that it might be a turn off, so it's nice to hear that it's actually preferred (at least by some). Things we're looking for are the ability to get shit done and ship. We aren't looking for genius chess players, we're looking for curious problem solvers with a sense of responsibility and accountability.
