Title: It seems like to get a software job you need a completely different skill set from the work you do day to day (for some roles). This is why there appears to be an accepted practice of spending a lot of time studying for specific interview questions. And, on the employer side, of asking these esoteric trivia questions that the candidate is expected to be able to think through and answer on the spot while talking, while being closely watched, and under pressure. It seems to me these question really give you very little information about how that candidate will perform on the job, and is just a waste of everyone&#x27;s time.
