Same questions here.

This other day I was interviewing with a recruiter for a Go dev position, then she asked "what is a map?", couldn't believe such a basic question was being asked, proceeded to explain, then asked her why such a basic question; she said most applicants couldn't tell her what a map was (shock face).

Next question was "what is a hash table?", even more shock...

I'm a Computer Engineer who started to program when I was 12 in a 286.

I’ve used Project Eulers Problem 001 as an interview filter and more than one senior developer failed it… not surprised they don’t know what a map is too
