Junior engineer attending a senior engineering interview.
So the company I work for is interviewing for a senior engineer, DevOps position. I was requested to participate in the last interview. I realize, among many things, personality and group cohesiveness are a contributing factor when considering a new employee. With this in mind I only asked non-technical questions. Considering the position we are currently hiring for will have FAR more responsibilities and will require a much more integral understanding DevOps and engineering than my own I would have expected the interview to be a bit more on the technical side. Then again, maybe the candidates credentials have FAR more weight and when interviewing for such a position it is more common to ask non-technical questions?
Well, I have been invited to another interview tomorrow of another candidate. Perhaps some of you who have been working in the DevOps and engineering field for awhile now might have some advice for me? Would it be presumptuous or arrogant for me to ask someone so much more my senior technical questions? At this point, based on the lack of feedback I received, I am going to stick with my previous mentality and ask non-technical questions.

I've been given more responsibility at work and was basically told to take junior system admin responsibilities over our aix box. The catch is, I need to learn on my own.

dpkg-reconfigure
DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed.
If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see debconf-show(1) instead.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed by:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead,
so you actually get to reconfigure the package.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed. dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what
your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.
--default-priority
Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the priority to low.
-u, --unseen-only
By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have
not yet been seen will be asked.
--force
Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
--no-reload
Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates
databases. However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.
-h, --help
Display usage help.
