>> If you’re asking a classic algorithmic question, that’s ok, but you ought to bring some nuance and depth to the table, and if you can teach the interviewee something interesting in the process, even better! This! This! This! If you're going to ask a textbook dynamic programming problem, tell me why that is important. If you're checking to see they can think top-down/bottom up, that's fine. But penalizing (aka no hire) for not knowing "the trick" of that dp problem is futile. In the end, you want a guy/girl who can do the job well. What signal does a candidate solving max subarray give you? Does it tell you they'll write your mission critical service well? Also, LOL at "How to be human". It's sad that smart people have to be taught this.
