this should be a lesson: if you're going to do a "hacker" resume, it should be perfect and actually parse/compile and run. otherwise it looks like some lame gag.
and is putting things in "code" ever cute, clever, or funny? i submit it is not.
Wow...
The point I am trying to make is that there are certain minimum requirements I have of any employer, just as almost every job ad I've seen has a list of expected minimum skills. Would you work on software for a company that doesn't use version control? Being on HN is enough to convince me that you're smart enough not to.
What is important to me, however, is that you demonstrate a little pragmatism about us using Mercurial over Git, Hudson over CC, Jira over Bugzilla, <insert tool we use> vs. <your favourite tool this week>.
Although it would reflect better on you if your unit test were valid given an appropriate companies module, I really don't think you should be to worried.
It does parse/compile and run. Try it.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/resume.py", line 2, in <module>
from companies import YourCompany
ImportError: No module named companies
Because companies doesn't actually exist there is an import error. If you were to create a class to substitute in you'd need something like:
class YourCompany:
def unit_tests_code():
return True
...(And yes, I'm 100% serious. Your reply is the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this site.)
