When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

We create an index with:

• two filters: synonyms_expand and synonyms_contract
• two analyzers: synonyms_expand and synonyms_contract
• three text fields:
  • text_1 uses the synonyms_expand analyzer at index and search time
  • text_2 uses the synonyms_expand analyzer at index time, but the standard analyzer at search time
  • text_3 uses the synonyms_contract analyzer at index and search time
