The thing about constantly learning new things is that after about 10 years you start to forget the old things. The new stuff kind of overwrites the old stuff after a while.
What I find annoying about technical interviews is that they force me to review useless, basic stuff that I learned 10 years ago instead of asking me about all the cutting edge (and much more interesting/difficult) stuff that I have learned more recently.
- goda90 10y agoIf you're forgetting it after 10 years, then maybe it's not important. And the alternative shouldn't be the new stuff, because we don't know if that's important yet. It should be the old stuff that people don't forget.
- jondubois 10y agoExactly. It's not important... Except for the interview - Which is my point.
