TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
"Therefore, when I interview candidates, I'd like to
see the code underneath the writing samples they
provide. I think this will help me estimate their
"technical" expertise <sp?> in the tools we use here."

Dan, it appears to me that you are taking the easy way
out. Anyone can show you "clean, elegant code" that he
or she may or may not have written. IMHO, the best way
to estimate a candidate's technical expertise is to
ask the right questions (and know the correct
answers).
As far as letting you see my code (that is not
connected with any previous employer) without
compensation up front - NO WAY! Only an idiot would do
that.
