If a guy has some kind of a git-mutating program that makes it seem like he writes good stuff, he's probably a good programmer to be able to write such a thing.

- iopq 11y agoSuch a thing doesn't exist, but besides, why not spend 30 minutes asking about what challenges they dealt with at their job instead? If they can't talk about what problems they solved, they probably didn't solve any.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI guess everything I do is 'solving problems'. That's pretty open-ended. Maybe 'describe a situation where things didn't work the way they were supposed to/documented to work. How did you resolve it?' or something like that.
- iopq 11y agoThat's what I meant by problems, things like when everything went wrong and you had to fix it.
