the best interview question is, "Yeah, but can you kick my rear end?"

Trick questions, even easy ones, are dumb because the answer in real life is almost always just a Google away. It's probably more useful to check they won't be googling the basic stuff like how to use linq

It's probably more useful to check they won't be googling the basic stuff like how to use linq thats the thing that i hate about stupid programming exercises i've got enough experience with a bunch of languages that i know the syntax and most of the idiosyncrasies but gently caress memorizing the stdlib when documentation exists but somehow these interview exercises have become about memorizing functions rather than actually solving problems

computer parts posted:it's because those tests are easier to come up with but like, it's not really tho loving have a candidate walk through how they would solve a problem i don't give a poo poo if someone uses a python generator or a ruby block or linq or any other dumb poo poo i wanna know why they're doing it the way they do it

sometimes ill get candidates doing a coding thing and they'll decide 'hey, java' and start writing all the classes and stuff and ill have to say 'don't bother with all that', and then sometimes they'll just do pseudocode and that's ok too
