This. I encountered a candidate whose entire experience was wrapped up in code golfing, which had me concered: can he even write real code? Golfing and real coding are entirely different practices. It's like expecting to complete in the PGA World Cup because you're under par at the local Family Putt Mini Golf, to abuse the analogy. ;)
