This doesn't work, because candidates can (and apparently do) lie. I've interviewed people who have a pointer to a github account that has reasonable code, who then cannot code something basically as easy as fizzbuzz. I assume it's because they lie about that being their github account, though maybe it's because they need an IDE to code a single stateless loop. Edit: or maybe they just haven't coded in >years, and have forgotten how? I don't know.

>This doesn't work, because candidates can (and apparently do) lie. I have not found this to be the case. I ask people about specific projects they have posted and sometimes look through the code together and ask them about the time-space complexity of function they've written. Maybe you're just encountering test-anxiety.
