IF they have you write code, think twice about taking the job. That&#x27;s an indicator of a junior engineer conducting an interview in a company that didn&#x27;t care enough to work out a good process.<p>Seriously. I&#x27;ve been working for startups and starting companies for 26 years, and for half that time I&#x27;ve been building teams.  I stopped asking people to code a long time ago.  If they can&#x27;t code it will be obvious by their answers to your questions (And I&#x27;m not talking about coding brain teasers either.)<p>Ask them about a project they worked on and to explain to you how it worked.  That&#x27;s sufficient.
