>We should hire mid-tier developers based on code review, typically based on open-source code.

What about developers who push non-polished projects to GitHub? Can the candidate specify which project you're reviewing?




Sure. If they want me to review specific projects or even specific files, that's fine. I understand there is quite a bit of code out there that is truly experimental, and therefore not up to production standards.

It's also OK for the candidate to tell me that the reviewed code has some problems, which lets us discuss what should be done to fix it.
