in thread Interview questions
Code sample is a nice idea, the logic puzzles. Natch dont like those. They test all the wrong things. People are too easily thrown in interviews I try and keep the questions as simple as possible. Logic puzzles and the like are hard, as a few hard questions and the candidate is likely to get flustered and then the interview is blown.

Flustering/stressing out candidates in an interview is not
always a bad thing, though. I guess it mostly depends on
the job that you're interviewing for. If it's for a sys
admin or webmaster or programmer who will have to quickly
fix broken production systems, I'd want someone who can think
on their feet. I'm not a fan of finding out at a bad moment
that someone chokes up & can't hack together code when
they're stressed. So there's no point of unnecessarily
stressing out every interview candidate, but if it's useful
for making a hiring decision, I'm all for asking tough
questions that they might not know the answers to & getting
them a little stressed out. -- cat
