It's not a talent shortage, it's a hiring problem

I'm not talking about the google "how many jelly beans in a bus" thing either.

Google interviewers are strongly discouraged from asking questions like this.

I have never interviewed at google. I was going off of the "how to prepare for google interviews" or "a rehash of my google interview" write ups linked to from HN.

Apologies.

I also would note that some candidates for our positions think "wow, all these guys know to ask are basic MySQL and PHP questions?", which makes me suspect other companies or the coder culture at large are asking the type of questions I derisively referred to.
