>Domain knowledge is more important than your coding skills
It depends. For hiring I would focus much more on coding skills than domain knowledge.
Reminds me of a company that was getting rid of the expert/developper communication bottleneck/gap by having domain people who code, and said it was much easier to teach the domain to a good developper (who should end up knowing it anyway, possibly in more details than experts themselves, due to formalizing it in actually executable code (requirements often don't even "compile")), than to teach coding to a domain expert.
