sqlite answer - excellent, that is exactly what I am looking for, things people did, potential solutions let me understand the candidate's real background - not the buzzwords what is not well received is the judgmental tone, passing judgment about me for things you cannot possibly know, no need for that either, simple questions also irritate some, very important to weed those people out too, I expect you would fail the test because of the attitude, even though if this were a real job interview you'd do your best to suppress it, it would come out

Whew, My first thought was import the thing to database, use database engine to sort.

>what is not well received is the judgmental tone, passing judgment about me for things you cannot possibly know But this is the irony---a job interview is a judgment. Why do you think feelings on this run so high?

Dear God, I hope you don't do interviews. Talking about the "attitude" of someone you don't know, taking criticism personally, thinking that you are weeding people out by trying to "irritate some", suggesting they are trying to suppress it, and (of course) that you will be detect it. Every thread on hiring about HN has these weird passive-aggressive interviewers...interviewing is hard, it is really something that people should be trained to do (and some people really won't ever be able to do it).

I expect you would fail the test because of the attitude How is this relevant? Now you're just taking cheap shots.

  Culture fit. Is the candidate likely to reject/scoff at certain tasks because they think it's below them?

    "it appears you're implicitly looking for bash knowledge, which is unfair". "I wouldn't hire you with that attitude" I'm getting more judgemental vibes from interviewer than interviewee.

  I don't get it, honestly. I would not recommend a candidate, who, when asked if they could do this with cut|sort|head would reply something like: heh, what a pathetic question, I bet your history is full of "man cut" it is not the right answer, it is needlessly obnoxious and indicates a person that can barely bottle up their emotions and quickly gives in under pressure. Usually not a good match to any team - unless they also bring in something massively beneficial.

I do believe overgard was just making a point and not expecting a job offer from you. I find these "I'd never hire you" comments so obnoxious... At least you could tell us where you work and your name so we could ask for another interviewer if we ever apply there :-)
