What happened to references? That’s an easy way to verify if someone is bullshitting. It is possible to bullshit your way through interviews (there’s a whole industry to help you do just that) and not know good software engineering patterns.

Most companies won't do references beyond verifying employment. Then you relying on professional references, and are they lying?
