So, that's the most important part missing from your original comment. From that, I would assume that you never hired a developer without looking at their code before/after an interview. Is that right to assume?
Basically open sourced code (and not the interview) act as a substitute for coding tests in your process
- malvosenior 7y agoNo, I've hired plenty of people who haven't had open source contributions. It just makes the conversation easier when I can see their code beforehand. I also find that the really good people tend to do open source or personal projects, so there's a high overlap there.
- soneca 7y agoSo you so hired plenty of people without never looking on code they wrote? How that variable affects the outcome? Is your hiring process any better/worse comparing when you can read their code and when you cannot read their code?
