Do you really think FizzBuzz is too easy?
Hmm.
OK, here's one. Tell them to find out what a Bloom Filter is, and then implement it. Ask what decisions they had to make on the way, and why they made the choices they did.
- train_robber 16y agoHmm. Bloom Filter? Hmm, that's a bit of a tough nut to crack. Don't know if it would work out in a face to face interview over the desk.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoYou're asking about an average coder - they don't need to re-invent it, they need to be able to look it up, understand the description, follow instructions and implement something fairly straight forward. If you're hiring an average programmer then they need to be able to look up things, understand them, and implement what they've learned. Seeing what they do and how they do it is what's important.
