It was a fun read, thank you! Your submission is the real-world example of "work smart, not hard"

Umm, yeah. But if I found this while doing background research on a job candidate I'd have to think twice about if this guy was really someone I wanted on my team... be careful what you brag about cheating on, lest you let people see the real you.

Or it shows that he's open and honest. And that's definitely someone I would want on my team.

The use of cheating here is pretty tongue-in-cheek. I'd say the thought process exhibited in this is the exact kind of person you want to hire. Somebody who keeps their old work organized in such a way they can leverage it rather than start from scratch over and over again is hugely useful.

What cheating?

All he did was a really low-effort submission.
