> Brilliant! Let's make sure to include this in the standard tech interview questions set. We only hire the top 1% of the top 1%. First of all, that's the top 0.01%. Second of all, with that strategy, no you don't because the top 0.01% are going to walk out of interviews that ask dumb brain teasers. The best programmers are ones who can solve problems in the context of a team and codebase, with the help of the internet and iteration, not solve obscure but not-really-that-hard problems in 15 minutes.
