Awesome! I will definitely include this in interview questions, it's a very good way to check how much someone knows about computers.

- forgottenpass 11y agoThat's probably a bad idea. This falls into the realms of pointless trivia and needlessly-specific experience in a narrow domain. If you're actually worried about optimization, these aren't the questions you would ask anyway.
- kragen 11y agoIt might depend on how wrong the answers are. If you ask, "How many HTTP requests per second can Python's standard library parse on a modern machine?" then answers in the range of 100 to 1 million might be acceptable, but if the answer is "10" or "1" or "1 billion", then you know the person doesn't have much of a clue, about Python in the former case or about computers in the latter case.
