Hey Y'all:

I encourage everyone interviewing job candidates to look at portfolios, 
ask technical questions and have them code some stuff for you on the 
spot.

I asked an interviewee to pseudo code a basic operation for me.  The 
person wrote code with several unnecessary steps and didn't accomplish 
the goal requested.

I suggested we don't hire them.  Well, the powers that be did anyway.  
Then everyone on the team got to see similar convolutions, etc.  
Fortunetly, they were let go not too long after they were brought on.

--Dan
