What are good questions to determine if applicant is pro Google App Egine developer?

Questions that can distinguish that someone is not an ad-hoc GAE programmer, but is really doing professional GAE development, with all areas concerned (eg. performance, transactions, async/batch data processing).

Please provide answers, so an intermediate developer (such as myself :) can interview someone more experienced.

Please avoid open questions. If possible please provide a link to a documentation part that's covering a topic in question.

Please keep one interview question/answer per response for better reading experience and easier interview preparation.
