Oh, nice.

Explain. What did you modify?

I just had a genius revelation: I, like another poster here, don't like resting my feet on a bar all day. I like to have them planted firmly.

What if we had tall desks and tall office chairs with a flat, elevated platform? Then you could easily plant both feet on the platform and it would feel just like a regular chair, but then you could easily stand up and have a standing desk?

"I mean a large-ish block of real code from the actual domain the candidate will be working in, which will likely offer a strong candidate many opportunities for pointing out how badly it is written"

That might be a bad idea. Interviews work both ways, and you could scare away the best candidates with bad code. Maybe it would be better to show them code and say, "Here's an example of code that could be improved - how would you improve it?"

Or, just because you understand the underlying technology doesn't mean you understand the market, and your previous experience will get in the way of actually understanding the market.

If you want to go down the tech stack, though, you might be successful because you're part of the market for that tech.

I don't want to be evil, just mischievous. Can I just make everyone's phones ring?
