As someone who has hired a lot of devs over the years (almost exclusively for our offshore team in India, but sometimes in the EU), I can tell you that the number of candidates who embellish and down right lie about their capabilities and past experience is shocking.
Truth is, I hate both sides of the interview divide, as interviewer and interviewee - it's a horrible, inefficient, flawed process regardless which side you're on, and nobody has the answers.
