New Interview Questions for Senior Software Engineers

[Original article posting time] 11-02-17

 

I am helping an unemployed friend summarize some questions about interview exercises. Dear reader, I think it would be useful to collect some questions from you.

 

These questions should focus more on software design, rather than technical details like my previous list of two interview questions.

 

What Should great. NET developers know (more interview questions)

ASP. NET interview questions(Can you believe it? Published seven years ago)

 

Update: I think we all agree that if you want to go to the interview tomorrow and look at the interviewer across the table to simply print out the list and read it, you should make an excuse to run away immediately. This is neither a "How to interview guide" nor a list of "best practices for engineers" for me.
It is only a collection of familiar knowledge in the software development industry that has been working for nearly ten years or so. Of course, assume that the interviewer can understand BS. This is not, nor should it be a small test. If you want to apply for a job (or hire someone), it is more important to understand whether the other party can solve the problem or be mentally rigid. Remember to keep your mind in mind. After all, you found it online. -
