I think his issue was he was bruised and battered after 5 hours of relentless questioning that answering a question like that was the last thing on his mind.
A 5 hour interview is a ludicrous amount of time to take out of someone's day.
- pacaro 14y agoThis is fascinating for me, I just came out of a 7 hour interview day earlier this week feeling hyped up and energized (although a little croaky after talking for 7 hours)
- curt 14y ago4-5 hour interviews seem pretty standard for any higher level position. A couple years ago I had an 8 hour interview. Now that was insane.
- coditor 14y agoIf it takes someone more than an hour to determine a programmer's basic worth, then they should fold up shop. The extra 4 hours is a waste of both side's time. You won't really know how good the person is until they are working for weeks or months so how to do you expect to learn this in 5 hours?
