I am director of engineering / cofounder at a company called Starry (wireless ISP).

To be fair, I wouldn't call this a "problem" insofar as it doesn't cause any meaningful pain apart from extra noise in the funnel. Given how poor the signal-to-noise ratio is in most hiring funnels, the impact is more or less de minimis.

I do still review every submission, at least in a cursory way, just in case the candidate has other legitimate experience and/or novel work on the github they link to.

Used to live in a building with Starry internet, and just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic service while I was a customer.
