Technical Interviews at a Startup

Good post. Personally I would refuse to share my past code. Honest question: Would you be willing to share your code with the interviewee so that try can determine if they want to join you?

We'd absolutely be happy to share (parts) our code, and often do.

I've heard other companies give prospective employees a week-long project on a consultancy basis - I think this is a great method of determining if there's a mutual fit. Unfortunately, it's a bit unrealistic to expect most candidates to be able to drop current commitments for a week.

why would you refuse?

for a company, I don't see a problem to show some project internals under NDA
