Like a few hundred thousand lines of code copied from tutorials into a unique working product. Open sourced with a year worth of commit history.
I'd hire that guy, but maybe that's why I'm looking for employment and not the employer? LOL

One solution is to only apply to companies without a broken hiring process, but sadly they're very rare.
