Ask HN: What do you wish interviewers had asked you?

Everyone's had really dumb/bad interview questions hurled at them, and a common theme seems to be "why are they asking these dumb questions instead of the ones that matter?"

So - what questions do you want interviewers to ask? And where should the conversation go?

I'll start - when a backend/infrastructure person, they should ask me "What information do you need to design a backend for X/Y/Z? What technologies do you lean towards, and what tools/budget/personnel do you need?"

This should evolve (some would say devolve) into a discussion about budget, scalability, devops, tooling, skillsets, users, requirements, documentation, etc.

How about for your skillset/area?
