I'd take a look at a candidates github account or other open source work. That might preclude the need to ask for code during the interview.

- gcb 16y agomost of my github account is filled with trash that i start for one day, barely learn something completely new to me, sometime a new language, then forget and move on. if I find said thing promising, i'd usually came back some weekends later and do something more complex, but again, basically junk. oh, and did i mention nothing looks finished? Now, take anything i code behind the closed doors at my employer or i contribute to some open source projects. It will shine like nothing you will ever see in my github or googlecode or such.
- cdavid 16y agoI think you are not looking at it the right way: sure, a lot of stuff on github is crap, but if you have something good on it where you are a significant contributor, then it surely is a good sign.
- ghshephard 16y agoGood grief -you have a github account that you put code on. You've already put yourself ahead of 90% of the candidates applying for a position as a developer - don't sell yourself short.
