My favorite BBG anecdote was when I was on the hiring side. I rated a candidate "hire at top priority" but he was rejected by another manager.
When I asked why, the manager told me it was because the candidate wrote "xml" on his resume and not "XML" and that any knowledgable programmer would know to capitalize it correctly so he clearly didn't know his stuff.

- raldi 11y agoThis only happened because he wrote his resume in Emacs or vi. A real programmer would have used MS-Word and it would have autocorrected.
- cpach 11y agoHaha, that’s incredible :)
- S4M 11y agoI didn't know a programmer is expected to have "XML" (or "xml" on his cv). It's something that you can pick up very quickly if you don't know it.
