Really? I find it pretty nice to be able to look at the code a candidate writes, even if it's in a completely different context to the job they're applying for. It'll speak far better to their abilities than even most technical interviews.
Me too, and I also like to look at candidates' Github pages. But I also really think we are in the minority.
There is also a difference between what we like to do and what we have time to do, particularly when it concerns multiple candidates.
Exploring the counterpoint: in this era of LLMs, how do you assess code quality?
I haven't heard anyone claim LLMs are good at the architecture yet.
Ask the candidate to explain how their project works.
