How to Assess Technical Proficiency in Software Developers During Interviews?

For any tech-driven organization, the right talent is the key to success in business competitiveness. When you set out to hire software developers you need to evaluate their technical proficiency to ensure it speaks volumes about their experience and expertise. 

Assessing technical skills in an interview can be challenging as you need to know what are the right questions to ask. This is where this article will add value by providing you with the right strategies to identify top candidates to drive your project forward. 

Mastering the Interview Process: Key Strategies to Evaluate Software Developers Technical Acumen

Technical interviews

A vital step in the hiring process is the technical interview. These interviews ought to concentrate on the candidate's aptitude for problem-solving, coding, and comprehension of data structures and algorithms. Make use of actual issues that a candidate would encounter at work. 

This method assesses both their practical application abilities and technical understanding. Recall that the objective is to employ software engineers with critical thinking skills and effective problem-solving abilities.

Pre-screening assessments

Identify candidates that don't fulfill your technical requirements with pre-screening evaluations before inviting them for a detailed interview. These evaluations may consist of multiple-choice questions on programming principles, coding tests, or scenarios involving problem-solving relevant to the position. 

You will save time and money by using this tactic for hiring top talent. It will help ensure that only eligible candidates move on to the next step in the hiring funnel.

Code reviews

Examine a piece of code with applicants throughout the interview process. You can assess their attention to detail, comprehension of best practices for coding, and capacity for offering helpful criticism with this strategy. 

Code evaluations can also show how well a candidate understands how to find bugs and optimize code—two essential abilities for any software developer.

Pair programming session

Pair programming sessions offer a fantastic way to watch candidates in action. You will be able to assess their level of cooperation, communication, and problem-solving style during these sessions. This approach facilitates the evaluation of both interpersonal and technical skills, both of which are essential for team-based projects.

Behavioral interviews

Soft skills are just as important as technical skills to ensure you hire a good software developer. Behavioral interviews aid in evaluating a candidate's capacity for working under pressure, communication abilities, and cultural fit. Inquiries on prior encounters, obstacles encountered, and strategies employed to overcome them offer valuable perspectives into their approach to problem-solving and collaborative abilities.

Closing Remarks

Hiring top software developers requires a comprehensive evaluation approach that is a judicious mix of technical assessments with behavioral insights. Whether it’s in-house vs remote software developers you must employ strategies that will help you identify the top talent in your team. The strategies outlined in this article will help you assess their technical expertise along with their overall suitability for the project.

North Korean hackers have stolen the equivalent of billions of dollars in recent years and the nation is seeking to amass even greater wealth through illicit means, experts told DW.

Hackers belonging to the Lazarus Group — a notorious North Korean crypto theft ring — stole a record $1.5 billion (some €1.37 billion) in digital tokens from Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange ByBit in late February. The company said the hackers had accessed its digital wallet for Ethereum, the second-largest electronic currency after Bitcoin.

Binance News, a new platform operated by cryptocurrency exchange firm Binance, reported last month that North Korea now has some 13,562 Bitcoins, the equivalent of $1.14 billion. Bitcoin is the world's oldest and best known cryptocurrency, often compared with gold due to its alleged resistance to inflation. Only the US and Great Britain have greater reserves of the currency, Binance News said, citing crypto data provider Arkham Intelligence.

"Let's not mince words — [North Korea] achieved this through theft," Aditya Das, an analyst at cryptocurrency research firm Brave New Coin in Auckland, New Zealand, told DW.

"Global policing agencies like the FBI have publicly warned that North Korean state-sponsored hackers are behind numerous attacks on cryptocurrency platforms," he added.

Hackers use social engineering against crypto firms

Despite those warnings, however, crypto firms are still being robbed and North Korean hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the analyst said.

"North Korea employs a wide range of cyberattack techniques, but they've become especially known for their skill in social engineering," said Das.

"Many of their operations involve infiltrating employee hardware, then using that access to breach internal systems or lay traps from the inside."

The hacker's primary targets are crypto startups, exchanges and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms due to their "often under-developed security protocols," he said.

Recovery of funds 'extremely rare'

Elite North Korean hackers tend to take their time when infiltrating a legitimate global organization, often by impersonating venture capitalists, recruiters or remote IT workers to build up trust and breach firms' defenses.

"One group, Sapphire Sleet, lures victims into downloading malware disguised as job applications, meeting tools or diagnostic software — essentially turning victims into their own attack vectors," Das said.

Once crypto has been stolen, Das says recovery is "extremely rare." Cryptocurrency systems are designed to make transactions irreversible and striking back against North Korean operatives "is not a viable option because these are nation-state actors with top-tier cyber defenses."

Kim Jong Un's regime 'saved' by cryptocurrency theft

Park Jung-won, a professor of law at Dankook University, said North Korea previously relied on risky transactions — such as smuggling narcotics and counterfeit goods or supplying military instructors to African nations — to earn illicit funds.

The legal expert says the advent of cryptocurrency "has been a huge opportunity" for dictator Kim Jong Un.

"It is probably fair to say that given the way the world was cracking down on Pyongyang's smuggling efforts, crypto has saved the regime," Park told DW. "Without it, they would have been completely without funds. They know that and they have invested heavily in training the best hackers and getting them up to a very high level of skill."

"The money that they are stealing is going straight to the government and the assumption is that it is being spent on weapons and greater military technology as well as the Kim family," according to Park.

North Korea immune to international pressure

Park does not believe that outside pressure would force North Korea to end hacking attacks.

"For Kim, the survival of his dynasty is the most important priority," the law professor said.

"They have become accustomed to this source of revenue, even if it is illegal, and they will not change," he added. "There is no reason for them to suddenly start abiding by international law and there is no way to apply more pressure."

Das agrees there are few tools available to influence North Korea. He says companies need to do everything in their power to avoid becoming the next victim.

"Best practices like secure-by-design smart contracts, constant internal verification and social engineering awareness are essential if the industry wants to stay ahead," he said.

Crypto firms need universal security standards

There's growing momentum for sector-wide information sharing which would help crypto firms detect North Korean tactics and avert attacks, but Das warns that crypto remains "fragmented" because there is no universal security standard. Also, North Korean hackers are good at turning security tools against their users, according to the analyst.

"In the Bybit case, the attackers exploited Safe, a multi-signature wallet system meant to enhance security. Ironically, this added security layer became the very exploit they used," he said.

 And in practice, Das added, "some firms still treat security as an afterthought."

"From my experience, teams often prioritize shipping fast over building secure systems and until that changes, the space will remain vulnerable," Das said.

We Proved It: AI Mastering Is A Waste Of Money

Ok, this is quite interesting all on its own. If you’re in to music creation it’s probably worth watching for that.

But my particular interest is AI and art. More specifically AI and Creative Writing which this is not about but which I think probably shows some good parallels.

I’ll be frank and admit I have not actually experimented with any AI Creative Writing software because I’m not really comfortable at this time with the ethics of using AI for Creative Writing. Even as I’m not really comfortable ignoring it for fear that there is a basic technological advantage in some kind of normalized usage as a tool for professionals somewhere in there that is in the process of development and will eventually be usable without all the ethical concerns and I’m falling behind out of puritanism. So that’s my bias warning. Most of what I see and know about AI says it is not ok to use AND I am very suspicious about that answer because I don’t feel ok getting my hands dirty to double check my assumptions. 

I will also clarify that I don’t think the issue is that AI can’t create art. I’m significantly more worried that it CAN, just at a totally unacceptable cost. Even if it can’t right now, the rate of advancement tells me that now is very much a temporary state. If it is allowed to develop and gets consistent use, especially in the way it has done so far (utterly ignoring legal and moral boundaries) it absolutely WILL EVENTUALLY be able to fulfill its promises. That “eventually” may even be uncomfortably SOON. But, as is, that will be a bad thing, not a good thing because of the total costs involved in allowing that to occur.

Watching this, though, makes me suspect that using AI for creating art is really just an act of not realizing that better and more ethical tools have already been made. People have simply made a LOT of tools over the years to help themselves and others out.

What I’m particularly reminded of watching this is Plotto.

Plotto is an OLD book at this point, originally published in 1928. Cook originally wrote Plotto for himself as a way to speed up and simplify his own writing because he got paid by the word, and not very much per word. He made a successful career for himself by writing (and publishing) quite a lot of stories, extremely fast.

Plotto is essentially writing a plot summary via flowchart. It is a writing algorithm for how to plot according to what has worked in the past (same as an LLM), written before such a thing was remotely possible with computers. If your not sure how to plot a story, it is probably just as good as AI without the attendant moral struggles.

While Plotto is the most detailed and finely delineated example I can think of off the top of my head, it isn’t remotely the only thing that can help you do on your own what AI is supposedly doing for you but probably better in everything but the shortest run. 

Nearly every book I keep on my Creative Writing Recommendations page can help in this kind of pattern assembly without all the downsides.

And, nothing will help you quite as much as taking your favorite stories (I highly recommend starting with your favorite movies rather than books or television shows because they will be the quickest structures to digest) and using those resources to back engineer the mechanics of a particular story. 

The particular benefit is that you will not be utterly reliant on the tool. You, yourself, will improve and be able to challenge and innovate patterns to achieve particular desired effects. And those skills will continue to benefit you (assuming you use them) even if AI eventually gets to whatever place it needs to get for it to be the better choice because you will be able to discern what it does best and what you need other things for because you’ll be an expert on what actually needs doing by that point.

It will help you even right now. One of the people I keep running into in the AI Writing space is a guy working on a vampire novel in a historical setting. However, that is an incredibly loose definition of a story space, since many, many kinds of radically different stories can fit that definition. Simply plugging what he plugs in to the AI is allowing the AI to choose most of the details of even what kind of story he is writing. It may have a somewhat consistent output with itself but he isn’t wielding the kind of control he thinks he is. He’s simply accepting that this is how a vampire story works when that isn’t true at all. And I strongly suspect he doesn’t know that because he hasn’t read enough vampire stories to know what even is possible. That’s not terribly important if you want to write the kind of vampire story the AI happens to pick. It is necessarily shooting yourself in the foot if you want to write something else.

Which is WHY it is helpful to back engineer a lot of stories. Not random ones, mind you, ones you like. The act of back engineering your tastes yourself, instead of simply letting someone or something else do it, is that you can figure out the breadth of it and what resonates with you. Which you will always do BETTER than the average, even if the average may sell better in general principle. The hardest thing any iteration of AI is going to have to do is learn you as an individual rather than simply assume you follow simple statistical likelihoods.

Statistically speaking, you like James Cameron’s 2009 movie Avatar. And that is the most likely kind of story you will most likely make the highest profit with. Great if Avatar actually is your favorite movie of all time. A huge problem if it isn’t and that isn’t what you want to write. The more LIMITS you place on your possibilities, the more likely you are to get the correct answer.

There is a reason that Michelangelo described the process of making his famous David statue as simply removing everything that was not David from the stone.

But you have to know what is dross and what is David for that to work. And AI can’t do that for you. It can only imitate the choices others have already made AND it has no idea WHY those choices were made, which is the most important determiner of what is junk to be cut away and what is story to reveal. If you don’t know why, you don’t know what to cut.

So, learn.

It’s going to cost you the same amount of money and time to learn how to prompt the AI well at the expense of learning how to create story well. You might as well learn what will benefit you both ways.

The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Remote Full Stack Developers | Tech Active

Learn the steps to becoming a remote full stack developers, including the core skills, how to build your portfolio, and where to find remote jobs.

Evelyn Berezin said her word processor would help secretaries become more efficient at their jobs. Photo By Barton Silverman/New York Times.

Evelyn Berezin, “Godmother of the Word Processor!” The Woman That Made Bill Gates and Steve Jobs Possible

Evelyn Berezin (1925-2018) was born in the Bronx to poor Russian-Jewish immigrants. Growing up, she loved reading science fiction and wished to study physics. She excelled at school and graduated two years early. Berezin had to wear make-up and fake her age to get a job at a research lab. She ended up studying economics because it was a more “fitting” subject for women at the time. During World War II, she finally received a scholarship to study physics at New York University. Berezin studied at night, while working full time at the International Printing Company during the day. She continued doing graduate work at New York University, with a fellowship from the US Atomic Energy Commission. In 1951, she joined the Electronic Computer Corporation, designing some of the world’s very first computers. At the time, computers were massive machines that could only do several specific functions.

Evelyn Berezin, “Godmother of the Word Processor.” Born: April 12, 1925, The Bronx, New York City, NY — Died: December 8, 2018, ArchCare at Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center, New York, NY

Berezin headed the Logic Design Department, and came up with a computer to manage the distribution of magazines, and to calculate firing distances for US Army artillery. In 1957, Berezin transferred to work at Teleregister, where she designed the first banking computer and the first computerized airline reservation system (linking computers in 60 cities, and never failing once in the 11 years that it ran). Her most famous feat was in 1968 when she created the world’s first personal word processor to ease the plight of secretaries (then making up 6% of the workforce).

“Without Ms. Berezin There Would Be No Bill Gates, No Steve Jobs, No Internet, No Word Processors, No Spreadsheets; Nothing That Remotely Connects Business With The 21st Century.” — The Times of Israel (12 December 2018)

The following year, she founded her own company, Redactron Corporation, and built a mini-fridge-sized word processor, the “Data Secretary”, with a keyboard and printer, cassette tapes for memory storage, and no screen. With the ability to go back and edit text, cut and paste, and print multiple copies at once, Berezin’s computer freed the world “from the shackles of the typewriter”. The machine was an in instant hit, selling thousands of units around the world. Berezin’s word processor not only set the stage for future word processing software, like Microsoft Word, but for compact personal computers in general. It is credited with being the world’s first office computer. Not surprisingly, it has been said that without Evelyn Berezin “there would have been no Bill Gates, and no Steve Jobs”.

“Why Is This Woman Not Famous?” British Writer Gwyn Headley Wrote In A 2010 Blog Post. — The Times of Israel

Redactron grew to a public company with over 500 employees. As president, she was the only woman heading a corporation in the US at the time, and was described as the “Most Senior Businesswoman in the United States”. Redactron was eventually bought out by Burroughs Corporation, where Berezin worked for several more years. In 1980, she moved on to head a venture capital group investing in new technologies. Berezin served on the boards of a number of organizations, including Stony Brook University and the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and was a sought-after consultant for the world’s biggest tech companies.

She was a key part of the American Women’s Economic Development Corporation for 25 years, training thousands of women in how to start businesses of their own, with a success rate of over 60%. In honour of her parents, she established the Sam and Rose Berezin Endowed Scholarship, paying tuition in full for an undergraduate science student each year. Sadly, Berezin passed away earlier this month. She left her estate to fund a new professorship or research centre at Stony Brook University. Berezin won multiple awards and honourary degrees, and was inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame.
