Well, I can only speak for myself, but I normally use the TR. prefix, just so
you can look at the qualification at a glance and understand what it means. It
reminds me of C and Java programmers who omit braces when they aren't
necessary. Sure, it's legal, but is it more readable? Too often we forget
that code may be written once, but read hundreds of times (e.g., by beleaguered
maintenance programmers at 3:00 AM).
I'd much rather argue over whether you should ever let the admin tool pick your
field IDs and whether workflow names should be meaningful rather than over
syntactic sugar.

** Because 'Field Name' = 'TR.Field Name'. It's not that 'TR.' is invalid, or
that you have to go and change any code that's using it, it's just not the most
uber-efficient way of representing the current field value. Thinking on this
has changed somewhat over the years since TR/DB was created.

How about:
"What qualification would you use to detect if the value of a field
has changed?"
Or:
"When is it appropriate to use a TR value in a qualification"?
(Hint: NEVER)

Re: Interview questions
I always though questions pertaining to the three phases that filters
were processed in was a good question to ask.
Even if the interviewee did not know the answer - exactly - it would
get them talking about push, set,notifications and messaging.
