How about showing him some cakephp code and asking him to talk us through it |

If they waffle, you know bullshit |

Because it’s stupidly simple, but sounds mysterious and complicated |

Love that |

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 |

I am by no means an expert in interviewing |

I’d run him past classes, inheritance, composition and as @javier.villanueva said SOLID |

Check his github/gitlab too |
# |

It does show a lack of community engagement |

Don’t even interview, clearly a douché |

but rates his ability as 9/10 |
# |
Sep 23rd 2019, 11:12 |
birdy247 |
or heard of laravell |

He has never used cakephp |

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 |

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 |

Technical test first |
