We stay away from riddles, and instead focus on CS concepts. We’ll rephrase to avoid jargon if you don’t have a formal education, or it has been a while. Here are a few categories:
OOP concepts like SOLID
concurrency vs parallelism, approaches for each (generators, threads, async,’ etc), and tradeoffs
typing (e.g. is a Python strongly or weakly typed? Java? JavaScript?), and practical implications
functional programming concepts like closures, partial application, etc
SQL knowledge
types of tests, and approaches/goals for each
And some practical details like:
major implementation details of our stack (Python’s GIL, browser features like service workers, etc)
git and docker experience
build systems and other dev tools
That covers most of it. We don’t expect every candidate to know everything, we just want to get an idea of the breadth and depth of their knowledge.

Love it. So much to look into. Appreciate your time.
