# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:16 birdy247 How about showing him some cakephp code and asking him to talk us through it
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 neon1024 If they waffle, you know bullshit
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 neon1024 Because it’s stupidly simple, but sounds mysterious and complicated
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 birdy247 Love that
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 birdy247 null coalesce :)
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 birdy247 ok, so ask him to explain what they are?
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 neon1024 Scalar typehints, method return types, and null coalesce operator
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:15 birdy247 I am by no means an expert in interviewing
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:14 neon1024 I’d run him past classes, inheritance, composition and as @javier.villanueva said SOLID
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:14 challgren Check his github/gitlab too
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:14 neon1024 It does show a lack of community engagement
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:14 birdy247 I was v. suprised he handt heard of laravell
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:14 slackebot <challgren>
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:14 birdy247 lol
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:13 slackebot !google Urban Dictionary Brogrammer
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:13 slackebot Command sent from Slack by neon1024:
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:13 birdy247 brogrammer?
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:13 neon1024 Or 110% Brogrammer
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:13 challgren Oh man
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:13 neon1024 Don’t even interview, clearly a douché
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 neon1024 Next!
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 neon1024 HA. HA. HA.
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 javier.villanueva xD
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 neon1024 Haha
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 birdy247 but rates his ability as 9/10
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 birdy247 or heard of laravell
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 birdy247 He has never used cakephp
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:11 neon1024 I’d agree with @javier.villanueva discussing OOP concepts is a good place to go also
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:10 neon1024 If they’re just reading it or grasping the concept
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:10 neon1024 As you can tell how someone talks about code
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:10 neon1024 Code review is a good option too though
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:09 neon1024 Maybe if you like the candidate, give them a technical test afterwards
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:09 javier.villanueva the tipical example with db queries in a foreach xD
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 neon1024 We give out a technical test to candidates about a week before they interview, and we can discuss their code during the interview
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 birdy247 Maybe just show them some code and ask to explain?
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 javier.villanueva talk me about TDD
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 birdy247 Perhpas not writing
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 neon1024 How terrifying
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 neon1024 Eish, I can’t imagine trying to write code in an interview
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:08 javier.villanueva talk me about SOLID
# Sep 23rd 2019, 11:07 birdy247 Technical test first
