You article about hiring a C++ developer made me chuckle on the interviewees' answers; apart from the "virus" one I've also heard all the others - and had the same thoughts. You'd think that one would prepare a bit more before being interviewed, but I guess that's more common that I expected.

By the way, I really liked your interview questions; very straightfoward and to the point.

Something I usually ask when interviewing is the difference from C and C++ - specially if the résumé lists "C/C++" instead of separating both - as many people view C++ as a "C with classes".. which is not a fifth of what modern C++ really is.
