I don't really have an opinion about whether or not programming interviews are useful. I think they probably are useful in most situations. Nevertheless, I suck at them. I don't think I've ever passed one. I'm not even a good programmer. When I ship code, I'm slow. If I get hired it's because someone has seen code I've written in the wild, and it works, and it is clean and readable and well tested -- and because the person hiring can see that I love building stuff. I'm finishing up a personal open-source project and am looking for a new position focused on ruby or rails, so if you're hiring and are open to evaluating me based on something cool I've written, hit me up.
