I always look at their github to see if it has interesting things. I want to see how they write code and (hopefully) how they release software. That's either going to come from released code, a coding interview, or some kind of coding assignment. I'd much rather see their work on something they're passionate about and have had time to polish to their own satisfaction, so github is the best case scenario. It's also nice to talk with them about their github projects during the interview. It puts them more at ease and on familiar ground so that we can really dig deep into their software development and design philosophies. The less pressured and anxious they feel, the better. Ideally, I hope to find that they've arranged their profile page to show their best work first so that I don't have to go digging through it, but that's not something I'd hold against them; it just means that I might miss their best work.
