There is only ONE question to ask, in the immortal words of Steve Jobs: Have you shipped ANY thing in your life? :-)
And my only coder question: How good are you with vi at the command line? And my only designer question: Show me cool stuff. You will SAVE years of HR time with those 3 questions. I don't really care where u worked, went to school, grades, or the results of a test. Just show me COOL stuff that you worked on - and can you work 20/30/40 hours straight on a problem, without moaning and groaning about it - and love doing it?
