But isn't that exactly why you as an interviewer would pose a problem, set up the context that is potentially similar to the work your project would require, and see how the interviewee navigates that?
- Swizec 4y agoYes, it is. I would want to know how a person solves my problems. And I sure would hope they bring all their experience to bear! Just because they learned about CDNs at their previous job and “everything is proprietary”, I don’t want them to suddenly forget how CDNs work. Very little is actually unique between software businesses. We’re mostly just doing data bureaucracy.
