Heh. I don't even go that far. I just have a bunch of questions like "why do
they call it raytracing" and "what's the difference between a deterministic
and a non-deterministic state machine" and "what causes a SIG_SEGV" and
"what's the difference between an inner join and an outer join" and "what's
an advantage of UTF-8 over other encoding schemes" and "what does a
translation look-aside buffer translate".
If you can't get at least a handful of such questions right from outside the
field you're applying for, I know you're inexperienced, unschooled, or
uninterested/incapable of expanding your responsibilities.
