There is only ONE question to ask, in the immortal words of Steve Jobs:
Have you shipped ANY thing in your life? :-)
And my only coder question:
How good are you with vi at the command line?
And my only designer question:
Show me cool stuff.
You will SAVE years of HR time with those 3 questions.
I don't really care where u worked, went to school, grades, or the
results of a test. Just show me COOL stuff that you worked on - and
can you work 20/30/40 hours straight on a problem, without moaning and
groaning about it - and love doing it?
PS, TRouBLe :-) ed
