I fail to see how someone building games at 14 or own one of the most successful Minecraft server could not pass the resume filter.
Not saying the process described in the article is bad, even though I believe anything can be gamed, but I don't really see a big difference. Main change is the way recruiters looked at what they got, resume or essay wouldn't have change a lot I think.
Maybe off topic but if companies want the best people, maybe THEY should write the essay explaining why people should join instead of sitting in their high tower waiting for minions to come.
