Worst dev you've interviewed?
Week 170 Group Rant

Nearing the end of my internship I got to sit in with a few interviews for new interns. We asked them in advance to take some of their code with them if possible.

So this guy walks in a suit and with briefcase puts his briefcase on the table and takes out a few laminated A4 printouts. That was his code. He didn't want to take a USB or laptop because he might be hacked by the company.

The whole interview only took 4 minutes from the moment he walked in.

    And the printouts were laminated to protect the code from viruses? Hilarious. 😂

    @VaderNT he wanted to keep them clean because he was going by multiple companies.

    @Codex404 Was it at least something that anyone would give a shit about stealing? 😂

    @broseph whahahaha no, indentation was all over the place (mixed tabs and spaces). It was also a school task (I had to make the same thing).

    @Codex404 How could you see there are mixed tabs and spaces on a printed paper?

    @Benedikt the way it was indented (he probably copy pasted it from an editor into Word)
