Ignore this author and everything they say because it's total crap.
Unless you're an insecure, narcissistic engineer who feels "smarter" than everyone else or a cargo cult follower of some business fad, there are no magic questions to instantly separate "good" candidates from "bad."
You discover good engineers by whiteboarding and working on challenging problems together than can possibly turn into real commits. Ego and solving manhole cover problems doesn't delver good commits.
- saagarjha 4y agoI definitely wouldn’t ignore everything they say.
- 1letterunixname 4y agoYou're splitting hairs. They're a source of negative value. Anyone with any sense doesn't need anything they have to offer.
- account4mypc 4y agoEven if this is true, it's kind of useless since you need some way to decide who to hire. Not saying i think OP has the best method.
- wiseowise 4y agoFunny how you’re quick to label them > Unless you're an insecure, narcissistic engineer who feels "smarter" than everyone else or a cargo cult follower of some business fad, there are no magic questions to instantly separate "good" candidates from "bad." without taking a moment to actually think why these type of interviews exist. > You discover good engineers by whiteboarding and working on challenging problems together than can possibly turn into real commits. Ego and solving manhole cover problems doesn't delver good commits. You think everybody got time for that? Maybe in your company you get one or two CVS, but when you have 30 it’s impossible to conduct thorough testing. You optimize for false negatives.
