It only seems to work for the thumbnails. Anywhere else you click loads in the same window. It annoys me too.

your company is hiring and you want to help bring people that are like-minded

This is a mistake. When building any kind of team, you want diversity of experience, backgrounds, viewpoints etc. A mono-culture is extremely prone to group-think and is unlikely to generate ideas as quickly or elegantly as a team comprising many different types of people.

The second reason why I have always advised my teams not to consider “culture-fit” when interviewing prospective employees is that it is a covert way of discriminating against people who have otherwise protected attributes (race, religion, gender, sexuality etc).

You should hire people based on their ability to perform the job, and nothing else.

For the most part, large open source projects are worked on by adults not children.
