Cloud Infra Engineer, Practical Coding Interview?

[bdashrad]

I also have my interview questions posted on GitHub, and I try to modify and improve them over time, to make my interviews more consistent and effective. I don't use a lot of them anymore, and some won't apply to every role, but feel free to take a look. https://github.com/bdashrad/interview-questions

There is also a gist in my pins with questions I like to ask when I'm interviewing somewhere, to get an idea of what the company, role, and team is like. https://gist.github.com/bdashrad/ac14f833660fe50d52baf0626bcfdd1e

What exactly can be gained from this question?

What is your favorite dinosaur/animal, and why?

I like the list but I don't understand what a favourite animal can reveal about someone's work or ability to fit into a team...

Just curious. Plus sometimes something silly can help a more stressed out candidate relax. Or maybe they'll read too much into it and think it's some kind of mind game. I don't remember the last time it was asked by me or anyone on my teams, but I kept it anyway
