As the title states, I was wondering if there was a way to find out if people truly know how to code before hiring them.
Thanks! All help is appreciated.

As to see samples of code they have already written, preferably from their Github account. You could also present a programming challenge for them to complete in a particular time window.
- Take a look at its Github page.
- A good program must be documented, it means a good programmer leaves comments on his code.
- Look whether the code is optimal ; does it take the lowest time possible to execute ? The loops are used well ?...
- Has this person made academical studies, has he/she had many projects ? It could be good criteria.
- He/she use to work with teams ?
>a good programmer leaves comments on his code
Not necessarily true because if your code is self explanatory (method/function names are by themselves descriptive enough of what it does) then there is no reason to add comments.
I.e. don't do this:
-- Multiplies the number by two function multiplyByTwo (let number) { number = number*2; console.log(number) }
