Back in 2000 at Amazon, HR somehow decided to have me do the phone
interviews for neteng. I'd go through questions on routing and what not,
then at the end I would ask questions like, "Who was Jon Postel? Who is
Larry Wall? Who is Paul Vixie? What are layers 8 & 9? Explain the RTFM
protocol. What is NANOG?" Those answers (or long silences) told me more
about the candidate than most of the technical questions.
---------------------------------------------------
Now that's a good interview question series. It shows that
the person cares, rather than just doing a job.

ps. I never thought of RTFM as a protocol, but I like it.
It's a protocol between engineers. The conservative in
what you send part... :-)
