Sounds interesting but what if the candidate doesn't have a personal project or one they're willing to show you the code for as they're working on it? Also, seems like you could game this by rehearsing what you'd be developing before the interview (same way you can game questions about binary trees etc).
I think someone having a personal project is a strong indicator that they're passionate about the trade though which is a great thing.
- gkoberger 10y agoThat hasn't been a problem so far. A lot of candidates start new projects, and that's fine too. If you can't think of anything you would want to work on, that's a pretty bad sign for us.
