I like this one: Where do you see yourself five years from now?
The problem is that my answer is always something involving writing code and solving problems. I have no desire to be a manager of any kind - companies don't like people who aren't interested in moving on to management.
If someone can devise a job where they slide a problem description with some guidelines under the door, I'd be perfectly happy.
There are a lot of companies that see the value in someone who loves writing code and solving problems. If I asked that question (which I wouldn't, I hate it) I would be happy to hear the following as an answer:
"I love coding, so I hope that whatever I'm doing in five years, I'll still have my hands dirty solving real problems. I also love learning and sharing my knowledge with others. While I'm not interested in being a technical manager, I would like to be a technical leader."
