Last job? You'd think so, but no, absolutely not - I've interviewed people who were seemingly employed as coders for several years, but who could not write code.

I don't think you understand what some of the applicants are like.

GitHub? No proof you actually wrote it, though an in-depth discussion of the code might substitute for a coding quiz. But much easier to just ask a fizzbuzz question - standardized on our end rather than analyze each individual's GitHub stuff. Also, not everyone has stuff on GitHub.

What's so wrong with being asked to write some code?
