Missing "Has email at own domain +4." Also, Grammer->Grammar.

The metric checks out, for example:

Candidate wrote an OS for fun, but inconsistently uses tabs/spaces. Hence, unreadable code base will net them a zero!

Found this by way of Jeremy Zawodny. Pretty spot on if you ask me.

I might split "founded company" into two things: "founded company that produced useful product" with some positive value and "briefly had [lastname] and Assoc. consulting gig because previous employer couldn't find anyone to maintain code" with some negative value. Maybe that's too wordy.

Also: written papers/spoken at geek conference (+) and written papers/spoken at marketing conference (-).

Also, one of your old comics, on how to avoid people bugging you with questions, reminded me of my old cubicle. Good times.

how is being topless on facebook a BAD thing? I am assuming its because of the assumption there are no girl developers in which case it is true.

How very true, except "Took certification course in a technology". For most of the good Cisco certifications you HAVE to take the course, otherwise you will epic fail.
