These all seem like highly subjective criteria, which is the whole problem with the way hiring works in first place.

- gwbas1c 9y agoYou might think it's subjective, but it's more like people arguing over whether it's a 6 or a 9. There's only one right answer. In this case, I'm trying to filter out the morons, and people who can't disagree and commit. The idiots who argue with me that we should use a different API (for the interview question) get rejected immediately. The actual programming question is pretty mindless and any competent software engineer should be able to figure it out in under 10 minutes. But the bigger reason is that in an engineering situation, people who argue over subjective things often times just waste everybody's time. Certain decisions were made and there is really no good reason to go back and revisit them.
