> not being able to code without an IDE, frankly this is a red flag... that makes it pretty clear they don't write a lot of code Muscle memory is real. Plus as a polyglot I find the context helpful for jogging my memory for how to do something in a particular language. I had to google how to declare a variable in Go the other day, but I've written 10ks of lines. I'd had a break and was confused with Python. Oh well. I'd have failed on several of your whiteboard red flags. Bar none, what I most want to see as an interviewer is someone's own code on GitHub. But I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever seen that after 10 years of hiring :-( |

I would also love to see my own code on GitHub (well, perhaps another platform but anyway). Unfortunately having a full time job as a software developer leaves too little time & energy for my own projects, and work stuff at my current place will probably never land on GitHub. :-(
