You know a good question to use on a technical interview?

You know a good question to use on a technical interview? Ask them a language they know almost nothing about. Lisp or Haskell or Erlang or Scheme or whatever. Tell them: "Show me a running Hello World in that language without using AI.". Then watch them searching the internet to figure out how to install and code that for you. It tests their ability to deal with a completely unknown problem and search for reliable sources, deal with weirdness, etc.

I would FAR rather have a colleague that knows how to Google well to figure shit they don't know out than someone with a bunch of certs and resume padding that claims to know everything but freezes when they don't know a thing.
