Can you give a couple examples of questions you’ve pushed back on? How and why did you do so?

  As a category I now decline any questions at a site like coderpad.io where you have to code with a gun to your head. They're simply a waste of time for everyone involved. On the other hand, I haven't declined any that are given as homework, except one where the guy said it would take 8-10 hours. <= 4 is a firm rule with me, unless they want to provide a stipend. Two years ago was the most recent time someone asked about my "greatest weakness" and I simply lol'd. So, while I realize the content of the questions themselves could be problematic, that's not generally what I push back on. Perhaps if the question was totally off the wall rather than merely a gotcha.
