Aren't we trying to hire clever programmers? Isn't that the point?
If a guy has some kind of a git-mutating program that makes it seem like he writes good stuff, he's probably a good programmer to be able to write such a thing.
...or knows how to download such a thing and run it.
Such a thing doesn't exist, but besides, why not spend 30 minutes asking about what challenges they dealt with at their job instead?
If they can't talk about what problems they solved, they probably didn't solve any.
I guess everything I do is 'solving problems'. That's pretty open-ended. Maybe 'describe a situation where things didn't work the way they were supposed to/documented to work. How did you resolve it?' or something like that.
