Honest Interview

The feedback was largely positive, but we've decided not to move forward. Good luck at your next interview.

Us: "Can you start tomorrow?" You: "Tomorrow is Thanksgiving." Us: blank stare

Do we like you?

Are you okay with feeling like you are making no forward progress for the next two years or until we run out of money?

I hope you like playing Risk, because we love to drink and bro out over a game.

How do you add an entry to /etc/hosts and why would you do it?

What is your _other_ Twitter handle?

How much would you say you can drink in one night?

Welcome to the lunch portion of the interview. I'm here to force you to talk more despite all of the talking we've forced on you so far.

Convince us NOT to use containers.

You have one hour. We are looking for elegant abstractions, thorough testing, and exactly the approach that would have taken us days to do.

Here is a file full of "data." We want you to make sense of it. We can't.

We need you to tell us how this API call goes through our Rails monolith. No really. Can you tell us?

Your co-worker is about to reimplement Python's Subprocess in Ruby. What do you do?

We'd like you to print the current date and time in a given time zone. Account for date changes. Can you do this in Ruby? We don't know how.
