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.

# nil? can be used on any Ruby object. It returns true only if the object is nil.
nil.nil?   # => true 
[].nil?    # => false 
{}.nil?    # => false
"".nil?    # => false
" ".nil?   # => false
true.nil?  # => false

# empty? can be used on some Ruby objects including Arrays, Hashes and Strings. It returns true only if the object's length is zero.
nil.empty?   # NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass

Accumulate values by key from an array of objects (key/value mappings):

records = [
  { a: 10, b: 20, c: 30 }, 
  { a: 11, b: 21 }, 
  { a: 12, b: 22, c: 32, d: 42 }
]

pivoted = pivot(records)
