It's a sales tactic. It usually means that they are lowballing you.

It doesn't "usually" mean that. They may simply need to get someone really quickly.

Unlikely. Training ramp up until a developer becomes fully productive usually takes months. Hiring quickly is a false economy if I ever saw one.

The times when it's been used on me, the company in question has never been in a hurry to hire.
