Title: Bitcoin related Interview questions Post by: nitinator on September 14, 2017, 04:12:42 AM When recruiting I tend to look for intelligence (looking at a problem from more than one angle) and engineering mindset (leverage critical thinking to solve the problem) over a skillset (Guru level Solidity developer).
I'd appreciate hearing what you guys think are good interview questions to mine a good engineer from a group of applicants. Title: Re: Bitcoin related Interview questions Post by: nitinator on September 14, 2017, 04:33:48 AM Ok, I'll be the genesis here... Some theoretical questions I could ask are:
- What is cold storage and how does it work? - Difference between POW and POS? - From a technical standpoint, what's a smart contract, where is a smart contract, how does a smart contract work? Title: Re: Bitcoin related Interview questions Post by: ferumflex on September 14, 2017, 08:58:58 AM - How funds for DAO project was stolen?
- What is Turing complete language? - What smart contracts can do, and what they can not?

Some theoretical questions I could ask are: It is very beginner questions.- What is cold storage and how does it work? - Difference between POW and POS? - From a technical standpoint, what's a smart contract, where is a smart contract, how does a smart contract work? You can find all the answer very easely on the internet. In few words. - cold storage : you disconnect from internet the system where yours privates keys are. - PoW : your return is dependant of the electricity you burn - PoS : your return is dependant of the number of coin you have - Samrt contract : the transaction is dependant of some external conditions Title: Re: Bitcoin related Interview questions Post by: aleksej996 on September 14, 2017, 12:17:40 PM When recruiting I tend to look for intelligence (looking at a problem from more than one angle) and engineering mindset (leverage critical thinking to solve the problem) over a skillset (Guru level Solidity developer). I'd appreciate hearing what you guys think are good interview questions to mine a good engineer from a group of applicants. It is obvious that you are looking for talent rather then knowledge. So don't ask them questions like the above, instead give them a problem to solve. Just give them some small portion of work that you will want them to do or something related to it and see how they do.

Thanks aleksej996 - sometimes people feel companies are trying to get some "free consulting" by giving them a problem to solve, but I'll try to be clear of my intentions and see what they say!

I agree the demos are best, but great questions are simply to ask what they have done in the past when faced with ___ . Ask a bunch of probing questions for follow up. Then ask them another scenario. Be sure to look for the patterns in the answers - it's never about one word, or one bad or good thought, it's about the patterns. Most people get hung up on the details, but it's about the patterns. |
