> My favorite answer was on a phone interview where he just hung up and wouldn't answer when we called back. Heh ... yeah well I wish I had it to do that. However, you are asking gotcha questions.
If "I want to see your instincts towards solving a problem" is a "gotcha" then we should just draw lots to hire people.
I unironically not as a joke think that rolling a dice after vetting candidate credentials is about as good as most recruiting policies or better. To much bias for players.
Like talk to the person abit to avoid obvious toxic people and then fact check the credentials.
So yeah draw lots. Guessing right on whether you want a practical response for the gotcha or for them to solve the puzzle adds no value to the process.

> Code review doesn't scale to prolific humans I've worked with people who consider themselves 'prolific humans'. Someone always has to tidy upp later, and its never them
That's such bullshit. I've managed some incredibly prolific developers and some very slow ones, and the prolific ones are pretty much always the ones more available, more willing to fix things, more willing to take feedback. And also: they make less mistakes because their skills are sharp . This anecdote comes to mind: https://austinkleon.com/2020/12/10/quantity-leads-to-quality... If you have to constantly rationali…
You'll note I didn't actually say it was people who are prolific that were the problem.
I've worked with great prolific devs. They're often very humble, happy to explain their work, and recognise that simply adding to a pile of queued PRs isn't likely to achieve very much. They are part of a team. These are good people.
I've worked with people "who consider themselves prolific humans" - they're far less humble, far more likely to be flexing or showing off. I have less time for them.

Well, what's the solution here, he should ship less stuff?
Less WIP is better for the throughput. If you saturate all the review bandwidth you're just wasting your time creating more PRs, the time would be better spent helping others get their PRs merged.
