Why are you against references?

My current job didn't require drug tests or references. Just resume + whiteboard coding.

It's more of a personal preference than overt philosophical stance. I just don't think it's anyone's business where I'm applying or may end up working (I don't want the references to know where I'm applying or may end up working).

Edit: switched "stance" for "preference"
