- What is the biggest problem you have faced in your projects and how did you solve it? Almost all programmer has probably come across a problem while working on a project. Ask them about how he or she sorted it out.
- What language do you prefer when writing algorithms? Every programmer has his or her own preference when it comes to choosing which algorithm to work with. If they prefer super high-level languages, then you don't have to worry about low-level details.
