Sorry, but it sounds so insane. Choosing the right candidate is
*your* work and by asking reference, you'll be missing the nerds.

Why wouldn't the nerds be able to produce a reference? And if they can't
why bother?

Of course you would like people with skill and passion but at the same
time you want people who have proven themselves in some way. If you
can't come up with one single reference there might be a reason.

Say, for example: I'm looking for a change; but, you're asking my
current (probably the first) employer's reference. I'll be happy to see
such a dumb employer.

hmm... I wonder if I'd count as a reference for myself? Afterall, I am
teaching a college course for PHP. ;)
