You have a pretty low opinion of our field if you think everything that you need to know about our field can be googled in 20-30 seconds. I'm not arguing about minutia questions, but if you can't be bothered to understand how and why to optimize a database or the difference between TCP and UDP (really?) and that's what the job requires, then I don't want to hire you.

My argument is don't play puzzles, don't ask stupid questions about "What does this command do with these flags?".
An interview should be the same as a discussion about concepts you'd have with a colleague. Does the person know the concepts? That's all that matters.
