For once: is not balancing a binary tree on a whiteboard.
I tend to ask about past experiences and learnings, and pay special attention to how they talk about colleagues, about the parts of the work they like and specially dislike.
I ask 'polemic' technical questions and look for compromise and compassion about other people's choices or constraints in the answers.
I ask devs about (disagreements with) designers, product owners, qa's or bosses and see how do they describe trying to get themselves on others' shoes.
And I ask every candidate what question I am missing because that tells a lot about them and gives me better questions along time.
I hope this helps you or others, also, I am curious abouthow do other people (agreeing with the profile I try to describe) interview for it.
I ask what they do to keep current on changes in the tech they're familiar with/using, what they want to learn next, what kind of side projects (if any) they're working on...
Self-motivated continuous learning is essential in this business, and not having good answers to the above is definitely a negative for me.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Knowing what to look for is only a part of the answer, what do you think are the techniques to identify these qualities during the hiring process?
Thanks for the post whatsoever
