    But I would expect a complete absence of spelling errors and typos. Because in programming these things count – a lot.

    Let’s not exaggerate. We have many kinds of spell checkers, all kinds of autocomplete, code reviews, automated testing, linters, and compilers that won’t compile if something is spelled wrong. Spelling is the least of a programme’s concerns, as it should be.

      Except I’m not actually talking about spelling, per se, but about attention to detail. Spelling errors in a resume is just sloppy rubbish.

        Ah, right, the proxy evaluation that’s so famously effective. Lol
