Lets imagine the two worst case scenarios here:
1st: A company asks those questions because they don’t know better. Someone is good at remembering stuff and does so. He gets the job.
2nd: A company asks those questions because they don’t know better. Someone is a good developer but fails at these questions – with no specific reason. He doesn’t get the job.
- cozuya 12y agoWhile there's definitely a lot of useless trivia (worse, useless trivia from 5+ years ago that no longer applies at all) in this list, the good parts of these questions _are the job_. If you don't know how to answer the relevant questions in this list, you aren't a good developer. There is currently an explosion of "front end developers" who don't know anything at all beyond "here's where I put in the bootstrap class to make the page look right" and "here's where I put in the angular expression" (or jquery plugin). Asking questions like this weeds them out.

- arturodomingo 12y ago> Someone is a good developer but fails at these questions There probably aren't that many people who can confidently answer 90%+ of these questions, but if someone were to call themselves a good developer, surely they should be able to accurately answer most (>50%) of them.
