asking someone to implement a lock free queue in an interview could be interesting because it can be interesting to see how somebody flails in a high-pressure situation where they know they are going to fail

how do i interview peopleBloody posted:i have to interview a person for an open position on my team. ive never interviewed anybody before, but i have been interviewed many times. obviously, nobody has bothered to train me or even provide a brief overview of how we do interviews at my company. how do i interview a person? i get a half hour one-on-one with them, which seems uselessly brief.

meatpotato posted:9/10 of the technical interviews I've had have been stuff that seems straight out of leetcode though i like this one that does sound fun i had a postcard from a company like that at a school recruiting event. it was p cool. i just emailed in something like well it looks like <XYZ> is wrong, but theres no documentation of what this function is supposed to do, so maybe it is subtly doing the correct thing and the only defect is the missing documentation  i got an interview they gave me a five figgy offer
