At least at my current job at a "boring" Fortune 500, we don't work that way at all. I'm sure there are plenty that do though. I guess if you are getting enough hires using your current system, there is certainly no reason to change it.
I suppose I should consider a way to indicate the I read Hacker News on my resume :) Thanks for responding, I may be able to improve my resume some by considering how to show more of those things. Right now, I focus a lot on Python in my resume, because that is my primary language of expertise and what I use every day. But I am very interested in Rust and various functional languages in general too.
