I’m glad folks are posting interview questions on here, we can all do better when it comes to crafting them. In light of that, i’ve noticed a pattern of asking questions like “what is the reactor pattern” that I personally think are pretty counter productive. Asking about industry terminology rather than the application of said concepts locks out non-industry (e.g. self-taught) folks, who are otherwise likely going to be some of your best candidates!

Thank you for the post, some other questions on here are quite good. Hopefully discussions like this can help us all hire the very best people.

Thank you, I can totaly relate to this, I've working with NodeJS self-taught for almost 3 years now, and I've never read anything about "reactor pattern"... Had no idea that that, had a name.

sometimes, the interviewer asks the reactor pattern question. I completely disagree with them. why does the interviewer ask indirect questions to just show the candidate he/she is smarter?
