Indeed. I don't recall being asked to write code in any job interview.
I was once - write a PHP CRUD app as part of an interview for sysadminning(!). I created a non-working app that the interviewer (Hi Roger if you're out there) couldn't debug either until I said "we *do* have Internet available, don't we?" and a 2 minute googling fixed the problem ...
Ever. I've been surprised that prospective employers haven't grilled me that hard. Not that I'm unprepared, of course.
One of my colleagues held the opinion that all technical interviews should be open-book, open-Internet, phone-a-friend - because that's what you'd do in the job, and the ability to research was just as important as the ability to do.
Also, I've never worn a tie to a job interview. I'm never sure if it's a good thing or not.
You need a tie to strangle the blood supply to the brain if you want to move from technical to management :-) -jim
