Right on, Jake.
For me the truly relevant questions are 7 to 10. I was hoping 1-5 might 
just give the hand-coders a leg up. Number 6 is mostly a gag :)

So true! Me too!
It's almost like unconsciously I want to test candidates on what I 
happen to already know. Not a real measure of talent or even real knowledge.

I'm not sure why we're asking for two years experience... I know we're 
not requiring CS degree.
I believe a recent college grad could swing it.  In fact, who cares that 
they even have a college degree?

True. I hope we can find someone who's actually interested in this stuff.
I myself could spend hours arguing about doctypes, semantics shibboleths 
or whatever. But then again, I'm committed to excellence ;)
