Trying to sus out a candidates ability to learn and adapt is number one thing I try to do when interviewing. A question I ask a lot is “Give me an example of a time you got completely stuck on a task and how you overcame that.”

Drag hates being asked that question. “Drag was stuck on a hard problem… And then drag figured it out?” Drag doesn’t know how to explain inspiration. Nobody does, not even philosophers or psychologists have managed to explain that moment of insight where suddenly it all makes sense.

These questions are filtering out those who aren’t prepared for interview questions, not those who aren’t good developers.
