Ok, thanks for the insight. I have definitely been influenced by HN and in particular a blog post on the Huffington Post[1] where the author states 80% of employers do this. I thought in tech, the rate would therefore be even higher. But now I think that's probably not the case, because of the personality of a lot of devs, the 80% statistic could be totally made up (can't believe I fell for that), and that I probably shouldn't be reading an AOL property for career advice at this point. Thanks for the tips... I keep hearing how devs are so hard to find and how so many people can't even FizzBuzz, and if I can just get through to a technical interview, I should be OK. So far, that hasn't worked out, but it seems like the best plan.
