Interested in the "Engineering Manager of Interactions" role, but not seeing listed. Where can I find the JD for that role?

It puzzles me that the author thinks that this is a good interview question. Or that one can extract “signals” from that ordeal. They say they’ve asked that question many times. So that’s a clue, probably.

I've never worked at that company and I don’t know if as an interviewer you pick a question from a catalog. If that’s the case, and if you’re so inclined in asking this type of nonsense, I’d suggest a small tweak: a third party selects the question with some sort of guarantee/constraint that this would be the first time the interviewer asks that question, and so is now in more or less level ground with the interviewee. No other option but to have a discussion among potential colleagues.

So, fair point. Keep up to date with technology, don’t become obsolete. Sure.

But I don't know about the metaphor. I mean, programmers do practice daily. If you’re coding at work you’re practicing.

More to the point: if the author played in the NFL he’d want the cornerback to do exceptionally well at game time, to practice daily, of course, AND to go home at night and keep practicing to become a quarterback AND a coach because, you know, got to keep up. My guess is that’s not what happens in the NFL.
