Wow, I wasn't expecting the amount of emails or tweets concerning my response. So just to be clear...
Yeah I think it's nicely done. It's creative, bold and goes above and beyond the prototypical way 99.9% of us have gone about getting a job.

He's got spunk and thinks outside of the box.
The code is shit? Who fucking cares. This new company will teach him how to code and in what, 1 month... 3 months... his code will be bulletproof. Teaching code is easy.
You know what's hard to teach? Everything I mentioned in the first paragraph above. That's why I said good job. I would have hired him in a heartbeat too.
