Yeah, what's really strange is realizing that others buy into the instagram resume hype. I'll keep things anonymous to protect the guilty, but one example I know about personally is a somewhat famous Googler in a specific domain, who actually gets cited here once in awhile for his work in said domain. He used to work at a much more backwater company with a friend of mine. He was working on a project for 12 months before leaving the company. My friend was tasked with completing the project, and came in and saw that basically no code was written in those 12 months. I run into these "emperor has no clothes" moments from time to time, but that was an especially momentous one for me.
