A coding problem is less illustrative than a decent--LOC is always suspect, but let's say 10,000 LOC--corpus of work. Something to show much more than a toy problem.

Better still, however, is collaboration with open source projects--you can see individual communication between people as well as the developer's ability to enter a foreign codebase and be productive, (hopefully) without introducing bugs due to ill-advised changes without understanding what's being changed.

(We don't look at side projects or open source at my current employer. I wish we did.)
