i.reddit.com was a mobile optimized no nonsense web interface - no ads, nagging pop ups, etc.

I installed Google Drive's "Backup and Sync" app for Mac yesterday, and within a couple of hours I get a mail from Dropbox saying - "We noticed that you haven't added any files recently. Save important PDFs, photos, and work docs to Dropbox to keep your files safe."

Is this just a coincidence or did they react to me installing Google Drive? Thing is I've never got this email from them before, so it made me suspicious!

I'm curious. We're trying to hire for our startup and have no clue what sorts of questions to ask. An algorithm based interview doesn't make sense, nor does it seem appropriate to give senior engineers (8+ years exp) a take home project.

We ideally want someone who is

1. Adept at good architectural and design patterns.

2. Understands library internals and performance nuances.

3. Can scale a complex codebase with software engineering practices (Test cases, CI-CD, migrations, etc)

4. Can mentor the team to better themselves.

How do you test for all these?

Note : None of us currently on the Frontend team have over 4 years of exp. The person coming in will be leading the team.
