How does that happen? Do you think they were lying about their github identities?
- elq 12y agoI can't really explain it. It was a puzzle to all of the interviewers. The only reasonable hypothesis I have where I assume the candidate was honest is that the quality of the code in his github profile is largely due to help from others.
- Yunk 12y agoThe only reason I can do well in one of these interviews is because I recently started writing poor patch code for websites. In development, who would do design, code and review on only one change in a straight sequence? It is like asking half your brain to shut down and the gods to smite you.
