Seems totally reasonable, thanks for sharing your perspective. I’d agree that a lot of interviews can range from hard to insane. I’m really curious what that means in terms of measurable outcomes... like how many fresh CS graduates are completely failing to land a job? How many companies are failing to find candidates? Stuff like that... FWIW, I warn people I’m going to ask questions they don’t know, and I ramp the questions up until people can’t answer them. I know it can be uncomfortable, but I also like finding the bounds of what people know. I do ask a lot of easy questions, and the majority of the interview isn’t knowledge questions at all, it’s open-ended conversation, usually about experience. I don’t have a sense for whether asking a few questions that are too hard for the candidate puts my interviews in the category you’re describing, or whether you’re talking about an entirely different level of arduous. |

I think it's great to challenge people, and honestly a candidates reaction to a hard question is probably one of the best indicators.
