When I do interviews I always have the candidate show me some of their own projects and walk me through the interesting parts. Sometimes I'm curious about a certain feature and will have them explain the code to me. I feel like this is the a great way to know their skill, personality and how they solve problems. It's actually interesting for me as well. Brain teasers are good for seeing whether the candidate can memorize algorithms. Since our work involves very little, if any algorithm writing, that's not something we look for.
- jacquesm 11y agoI do something similar during DD, I usually ask the technical people to show me the parts of their code that they are most proud of and the parts that horrify them and/or that are least maintainable. This gives great insight in their ability to deal with extraordinary needs and the teams potential to hack their way out of a problem and is a good predictor for their long term survival.
