For the most part I think this is right though I'm not opposed to a quick screener. It reminds me more of the traditional engineering interview, which is more about how you think. Knowledge is good, but it usually isn't hard to obtain. But the way you think? That's much harder to change. I'd love to optimize for both, but if I have to pick I'd rather have someone who has a good engineering mind. Seems even more important these days, because if I just wanted to optimize for knowledge I'd just use an LLM and RAG.
