No, we don't do any coding tests, just discussions of what you've done and how deep your knowledge of your tools goes. .NET folks are far less likely to understand much beyond the syntax, nevermind the "why" of things (even WHY you need StringBuilder) or what a database index is, etc.


Interesting. One would thing, "script kiddies" would be more common among Pythonistas. On the other hand, .NET might be more user-friendly, so that devs are productive even without the knowledge of what's going on under the hood. Kudos for the interview practices, that's similar to how I conduct as well :)
