It's not a goal post move. The article is explicit about the origin being from personally owned code if necessary. > If they don't have code to share for whatever reason, like it is owned by their previous employer or they are fresh out of school with no code to show, pass on them. > You have other code to share? Data would be helpful, but I don't even know how such data would be gathered. Is there a sure-fire method to identify a "Good Engineer" from one who is not? I interview occasionally, been working a long time. The numbers of devs I know that have such code to share is small, and I would put them all in the work-with-again bucket. I'm not sure if I would adopt this method, but I've seen worse filters :)
