When hiring developers, have the candidate read existing code

Interesting, I wonder if that's why you see insane build numbers like 1.2.4045.26836?

I suspect you'll find that two of those numbers are decided by committee, one by a human, and the other by the build system.

There's good odds that it's the 26836th build, the 4045th snapshot, and the second time they've broken the file format. (or the 2nd expansion, or both)
