[Kristina Anderson]

On the topic of tests and testing and unreasonable requests from would-
be employers or clients:

Recently there was a lady who posted not only to Craig's List Gigs 
section but also to this list, "desperate" for a developer to start 
ASAP.  I sent over my resume and she responded saying "send a code 
sample"...and I emailed her back saying, I have 10+ years of 
experience, I don't feel I am in a position to have to prove to you 
that I can write code.  

I guess a lot of other people responded to her the same way, as she was 
searching a while.  What was she going to do with the code, anyway?  
Chances are she was just a "civilian" who could no more read code [ever 
notice how when you show it to them they go "OH WOW MAN look at that" 
and then their eyes glaze over?] than read Russian.  And if she can 
read it, she should have to pay for it anyway.

I'm not really sure why they ask for code, seems stupid to me!
