For devs, a lot of y’all wanna be convinced that this is about making you comfortable instead of evaluating you for a high paying and lucrative job. A lot of y’all responded to this with “here are my likes and dislikes”. Come on! I have to hire 20 of you in 3 months.

Even if they do help you personally make a subjective decision about your company, there’s no way in hell this can ever be consistent across companies. Which is the exact thing devs are frustrated about. Every job feels like starting over in terms of proving your worth.

For managers, we need to acknowledge that this shit is vague and unhelpful for making actual hiring decisions. If you have 6 different levels you can offer somebody, and a salary range that stretches from $100K to $250K, how the hell do these questions help you decide?

@polotek things to ask
- what they've worked on
- what they liked or didn't like about it
- what they want, what matters to them

evaluate
- are they thinking about success as a team?
- are they curious? know how to ask open questions? want to learn?

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

So listen, I’ve spent a lot of time talking to managers and devs about this question. First we need to acknowledge that we’re speaking entirely different languages about this. And there are lots of problems in both viewpoints.

You can tell what from use of language? Explaining is a filter for what exactly? I know space is limited, but y’all need to come harder than this.

@polotek @QuinnyPig Phone screen from resume. You can tell a lot from someones use of language - how they explain a topic is a good filter. Then you can screen using a paid take home exercise followed by a talk and walk through.

Are people often expected to solve “real world problems” in 45 minutes at your job? Those sound like some nice problems.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

Okay I feel like I’m about to start a fight. But for people who hate tech interviews, let’s talk about what you DO want to be evaluated on. What do you think is reasonable and how do you think it should be done? Pretend you’re the employer who has to decide to pay somebody $150K.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

Yeah this about sums it up when it comes to real analysis on technical interviews.

Okay, but like… we don’t evaluate for any of this other shit in interviews either.
