This seems to plague all employers in software.
See Paul Graham's essay about how the only way to spot a good hacker is to hack with them. Which puts all programmers in a lemon market.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoIt's less of an issue for programmers. The only sure way to spot a good hacker is to hack with them, but there are still pretty decent signaling and warranty mechanisms. Look at what the programmer has done in the past and fire them if they suck. In the US, signaling and warranty mechanisms are illegal in the context of maternity.
