Every time someone mentions a good idea for interviews, I imagine the interview prep people adding it to the standard performance ritual. Then the signal is lost for the needle in a haystack who actually embodies what you sought to find.
With how ridiculously performative and disingenuous the techbro interviews have become, if we don't want to play that game, we have to keep some signal unspoken.
Yeah being a good interviewer is an art. Some people give up and rely solely on whiteboard / algo questions because it typically guarantees technical skills but does not account for soft skills.
