Of course it is, it's a way to gauge whether "someone is dedicated to the job by cramming the algorithms section they haven't touched in years"
I've done dozens of interviews and after all of it, I realized there are only four qualities we quantify as useful: caring, ability to listen, ability to learn.
- jonfw 6y agoThat's only 3
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoThere are only two types of people: those who can derive a set from missing data.
- daggerdrone 6y agoFourth quality: ability to count
- asddubs 6y agothere are four kinds of people: people who can count, people who can't, and pedants
- jaxx75 6y agoAlso the ability to identify off-by-one errors
- shreyansj 6y agoAnd debugging off-by-one errors.
- kowsheek 6y agoI think "caring" is probably the only one that separates the best from the rest. Reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/7EmboKQH8lM?t=2165 https://youtu.be/7EmboKQH8lM?t=2165 If we care as a developer, we write better code, learn things and listen to our team, customers.
- jhayward 6y agoI love this comment, not least because the enumeration leaves one to imagine what level of multi-dimensional punning and irony are being invoked.
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoTo be completely honest, it was a mistake... I forgot to add 'curiosity' after 'caring' but... I will now use this to figure out who is curious about the fourth one :D
