We once asked someone for some sample code. Anything they'd done at university really. Let me tell you, the whole team had no idea that you could actually run Python code with such a formatting of tabs and spaces and whatnot, being a white space sensitive language and all. With all goodwill this still looked like someones first program that accidentally ran after fixing the interpreter/compiler errors. Imagine a printed out cover letter but you fixed the typo in your last name with a sharpie and it had coffee stains on them.

There are differences between "code this weird thing on a whiteboard" and "show us some code that you're not terribly embarassed about" (instead of searching on github)...
