Definitely, and to be honest I’ve seen a few exceptions that confirm my unscientific rule. I try not to judge by the look, but in a CV for an engineering role I like a nice format without errors. Same goes for code reviews. I prefer clean & commented code over dirty/sloppy hacks.
Ah, cool. I definitely would expect some significant correlation there, but wouldn't be so sure without checking—looks like you're Doing It Right (well, as right as one can with hiring practices, short of running an actual study), sorry for implying you might not have been.
