What to send as sample code?

Question

Career in IT

Quite often, recruiters require to send code samples. But what needs to be sent is not entirely clear. Any function or what? According to one piece of code taken out of context, the level of the applicant is not particularly clear + you can show your own code and pass it off as your own. I do not get you.

Answer 1

It must be understood that this is a measure to screen out completely unsuitable applicants. And those who pass will go to interview with a technical specialist, hence two conclusions:
1) Even from a small piece of code, you can understand that a person, for example, is not familiar with PSR, OOP or MVC and draw certain conclusions for himself.
2) At the interview, it is not difficult to understand whether you sent your code or someone else's.

Answer 2

Quite often, recruiters require to send code samples.

GitHub is yours

Answer 3

Usually they send a link to the github

Answer 4

it is difficult to formalize or describe in words, but the code that those who can write is actually different from the code of those who learn. it's just that those who are studying don't notice it yet.
why recruiters ask for the code, I don’t know, but I asked as an initial topic for conversation: to discuss with the person why he wrote it that way and what other options were, to understand the course of his thought.
