> I'm sure also insulting to actually good candidates

I don't mind it much. I don't have great social skills but I don't mind answering simple questions. If someone is insulted by simple questions, they're probably gonna be a bad mentor to junior devs, right?

I ask very simple question as a build-up for harder questions (write a function to reverse a single-linked list), probably half of the candidates fail to do in any reasonable time.
