Yes. The projects someone has done is more useful, but only as a source of topics to ask questions about. I keep on running into recent grads from prestigious University of California system schools with 3.75+ GPAs who don't know basic things about pointers, who can't concretely specify a design for even a small subsystem, and who seem to have only ever glued libraries together with a high level language, nothing more.
I introduce a 2 element cycle in a dataset, and ask how we can detect such things, and have repeatedly gotten an if-clause that would only detect the 2 elements. Then I ask about a 3 element cycle, and I've even gotten another if-clause to detect the 3 elements as an answer multiple times.

What in the world!?
