I disagree with that comment, based on my experience. > Why would you ask questions that don't match the actual work they'll be doing? As an interviewer, and likely peer or manager of the potential new hire, I want to understand growth potentials as well, so I want to challenge you during the interview. In my particular situation, there are so many candidates, and so many mediocre ones, we needed to raise the bar, and it served us well.
