I don't know of one, but here's my story...
When I was out of work about 5 years ago, I interviewed with several recruiting firms. One of them, in their opening pitch to me, spoke about how they PRIDE themselves on being highly ethical, and how that is what makes them DIFFERENT from everyone else.
Then we got to talking about specific positions. They had one they thought I might be a good fit. The position ideally wanted someone who was or had and Electrical Engineering degree who then moved into programming. I did NOT have that..but my father was an EE professor at Washington University in St. Louis for 30+ years. They (I swear I am not making this up) said they were trying to figure out how to get my FATHER'S position on my resume so that their automated resume screener would see "Electrical Engineering" and pass it through to the next level. They said all this with a straight face not 15 minutes after telling me how 'ethical' they are.
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors
