"What is your favorite color?" In no particular order, here are the Top 10 WORST Ways to Hire Software Engineers: Filter With Obscure Computer Science Questions "Before we interview they have to answer these questions three!"  Filters are great, but if your tech filters are questions that contain the words "bitwise", "how many bits", "fizz", or "buzz" just STOP!!!  StOp It nOw!  If it can straight up be Googled by anyone, it's not a good filter.  It's like interviewing a carpenter and asking what a phillips screwdriver is (carpentry is a skill not a set of memorized knowledge).   "Well, they can't google it in the interview."  Right, but this isn't the first interview they've had so they may have already.  Also, you may have Elon Musk sitting in front of you, but he forgot the main differences between a Java HashMap and TreeMap.  You'd rather have an Elon who can learn and

"Ever feel like these meetings produce zero action?" Well, in AWM we do the same thing.  We a
