Last month’s post “For Technical Interviews, Don’t Ask Questions, Show Screenshots” was a surprise hit, and lots of folks asked for more details about the types of screenshots I’d show. Over the next few weeks, I’ll share a few more.
Normally I’d show this query as a screenshot, but for easier copy/pasting into comments, I’m showing it as code here.
I’d say to the job candidate, “You’ve been asked to take a quick look at this code as part of a deployment. Explain what the business purpose of the code is, and tell me if there’s anything that concerns you.”
I like where Brent is going with this series and plan to incorporate some of these into my in-person interviews.
