JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I'd be willing to bet that the most critical devs were demanding poo poo they don't do or can't, just to make themselves look like less of the useless pud-pullers they are.

Well hell, the alternative is to only hire people who are worse at the job than you are.

Suggestion: the more you need to play that game, the less you want the job, so be yourself?

Well, okay. I feel like if you want to test the candidate on whether they know how the preprocessor works you have better ways of doing that than asking them stupid questions. Like for example, you could ask them what's wrong with this:

code:
#define ADD(x, y) x + y

What is wrong with that?
