Completely am on-board with the descriptions of false positive/negative
I agree that this seems like a good way to establish someone's technical competence. I do wonder though from the interviewee's side what the optimal time to spend on one person is. It's kind of like dating right? (Well what I imagine dating would be like if I lived in a big city) You have concurrent first impressions with maybe second and third follow ups before you seal the deal. This may be a bit like asking for a relationship on the first date.
Demonstrating ability in this manner works for more junior people who maybe don't have a github or other personal projects, but I'd consider discussing and reviewing those more valuable.
