Ask HN: Difficult Interview Question
2 by ransom1538 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I am interviewing candidates for data engineering role we have. One of the most critical questions I ask is: "How can you transfer a file to another machine?" I can't get anyone in an interview to answer this. I never get sftp,scp,rsync,email,usb,nas or s3 buckets/gsutil. Nothing. Nope. I want to get into cool topics, parallel transfers, etc, nope. Help. Is this question dated?
