I tend to agree with this point of view: whiteboard interviews fail to predict how you will write real code once you are hired, your actual code is definitely a better indicator.

Asking candidates their github usernames is starting to seem a common trend, in my experience.

I have seen a lot of articles on HN that would suggest that someone somewhere is using github for hiring, but I have not heard of anyone actually doing it.
