Ask HN: Show us what you'd share if an recruiter asked you for code samples

A template language that I wrote for generating HTML. Meant to be included as a C++ library. https://github.com/Ghoti-io/Tang

Plenty of other C++ code of mine is on Github (such as a bunch of utility stuff, a thread pool, and a HTTP server that I'm writing from scratch), even though I would only call myself an intermediate C++ programmer. I just happen to like the language.

Or, if I had to throw other stuff into the mix, a fairly recent patch to Manim (Python) that got accepted (https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3155).

If I were really pressed, I would dig up a lot of my Drupal (PHP) stuff that I did years ago.

they don’t want any up to now and say that only leetcode matters

when they do start asking for them i won’t be doing leetcode

my opinion is that they should use that rather than leetcode interviews and ask people about the code they wrote

that should be enough to get hired.

past experience should override any bullshit code interviews. these type of interviews should be for people with no existing code bases.
