in thread An Interview Quandry

Then again, what's on the whiteboard might have been written by your next boss (and not another interviewee), and you may have to be careful about what you say about the code (if you want the job, that is)

Might you want to know in advance whether people in that environment have fragile egos?

    When interviewing people, I have on occasion given the candidate a print-out of a snippet of my code with a couple of egregious bugs and with my name on the first line, and asked them what they think - could they program in this style and so on.

    I want to employ people who won't be afraid to tell me when I screw up.
