This. I'm close friends with someone who is extensively dishonest in his resume. Most places just don't verify things.

How do you lie for experience though? Defunct company? What if they ask for reference?

I can't speak for that person in particular, but my point was lie about degree because it doesn't matter if you're a good coder and able to deliver results. If you have no skills then lying will be a problem on your first day of work.
