When we were actively hiring new devs at another job I had come up with 10 questions we could ask during a phone interview to help narrow the list of applicants (and not waste their time our ours to bring them in for an interview). One of those was to basically name a few VFP-related websites. We wouldn't automatically disqualify them for this one question but there was a surprising (not) correlation between devs who could name a few sites vs. devs who couldn't.
