To add to this, there are many situations where the thing asked is less important than the fact that any question was posed. E.g. the customs agent who want to see if you are nervous, or the emergency services that want to see how conscious you are. In interviews, it creates a path forward and pacing. Focusing on CS topics is something that should work for junior as well as senior developers. You can't ask someone junior how they solved some previous team issue, but you can ask a senior to reverse a linked list, because it's something basic that doesn't require experience. It's not the only thing you ask a senior developer, though. The actual answer is less interesting than how you interact with me. That said, interviewers should be flexible, good listeners and not have a bad day. |

You can ... but no one actually does that once they get past about sophomore/junior year in college
