At my previous job, I would start screening interviews with "What is the difference between a bit and a byte?"
A candidate actually replied: "One bit is 0.12 byte"
- zbyszek 8y agoAnd since you had asked for the difference and not the ratio, the candidate immediately failed, right?
- nmc 8y agoFunny :) I would have hired the candidate who would have told me the difference is 7 bits! Still a failure because the ratio is actually 0.125, but I kept going for a few questions, I stopped when they could not explain the difference between a thread and a process...
