Asking school-type questions is a reasonable way to interview for entry level positions, where candidates don't have a lot of experience to talk about. We've just never as an industry figured out how to interview more senior people appropriately.

If none of the senior level developers you're interviewing are familiar with a topic, then you have to examine the possibility that it's just not that important in practice.

A friend of mine interviewed for a junior web development position. Somehow he ended up getting questions about using stochastic gradient descent in a distributed environment.

leper khan posted:I know someone who has been a tech director for years and was dropped late in the interview process because the CEO found out he never went to college. It might be that the CEO's a snob, but it might also have been the right choice. Not having a degree is a social liability in some circles, and at a lot of companies, tech director is a position where it's important to be able to navigate those circles.

MrMoo posted:Oh yay I have a five round interview in Philly on Thursday and another five rounder in Manhattan on Friday, and these are supposed to be small startups. One of the rounds is a debugging session which admittedly sounds pretty cool, another one slightly concerning is called a "behavioral interview". Behavioral interviewing is just asking questions like "Tell me about a time you [did something]". It's good if it's done well.
