> The real problem: How you accurately evaluate a candidate without these questions?

The fact this question needs to be asked really reinforces parent's point.

Perhaps we should examine at how other respectable fields validate their candidates and follow suit?

If we don't have any form standardization for this stuff, I think that speaks more to the lack of maturity of our field than anything else.

Do other fields really have this figured out?

I guess bridges, buildings and houses generally don't fall.

Is that only due to hiring though? It seems more like physics doesn't change. And people who can do audits and inspections are probably pretty good.

I did an audit for my software at work. It's like talking to a child. Talking to a home inspector is way different experience.
