What if people not being able to answer simple programming questions is a problem with the interviewers, and not the interviewees?

- maehwasu 7y agoThis is one of those ideas that sounds really sophisticated, but is just wrong. The fact is that there a tons of people out there representing themselves as programmers who actually can’t perform basic tasks. The HN population massively selects for competence, so people here have a hard time imagining what things are like from the interviewer side.
