One of my favourite questions when interviewing - and it was 100% reliable
:-) - "what are your hobbies?"
If the answer included programming then they were hired, if not, then they
went to the "B" list.
In my experience, anybody who is really interested in programming will
have it as a hobby (and is keen to learn even if they don't currently have
the knowledge you require) - otherwise it is "just a job".
Won't they be tempted to work on their pet project instead of what they're
being paid for? There's also the risk of mixing up software created at home,
with that done at work, with all the intellectual property issues that might
arise.
