Yea, seriously. Much like how people complain about fizzbuzz until they see how many people can't do that, the amount of candidates where basic "so tell me about how you approached a major design decision not going the way you wanted" question had them essentially admitting to being vengeful and petty is weirdly high. Or people when asked how they dealt with a junior engineer who put in a messy PR essentially recount how they traumatized a new kid.

Yes, I had a candidate litterally telling me "design decisions always goes my way because I can always convince others that I'm right and they're wrong".

OK, next!
