Comment on Interviews Can Be a Terrible Way to Identify Good Programmersparent

Comments

Agree on the 2 & 3... I've probably been out of school (CS) for longer than most on here have been programming.

Not being able to come up with KMP on a whiteboard in an interview hasn't kept me from playing no small part in producing millions in revenue for companies.

Especially outrageous is all of the companies that think they need to ask these questions, when the day to day work is essentially mundane CRUD type stuff.
