Here's what I like about this story: Amar tried everything he could to "hack" his way into the position. In the end, he made a lot of noise but it wasn't until he sat down and spent hours learning to code that he got the job. To most people, getting a job after 5.5 months is not "hacking", but it's more admirable. That's the moral I got from the story, whether it was intended or not.
