"We've read your code"

Some years back when I was still actively working on POPFile and speaking at the Spam Conference at MIT I was invited to be on the technical advisory board of a company doing anti-spam work.

I flew up to the company's headquarters and met everyone and sat down for an interview with the head of engineering. At no time did he ask me a technical question. We discussed what was working and what wasn't working in the fight against spam. We talked about The Spammers' Compendium. But no one asked about my code.

I found out why towards the end of the interview when he said: "We've read your code".
