maybe the most insightful recommendation w/r/t the developer interview process i've read (approx. 3/4 through the post): "A technical discussion makes a much better place to start an interview. One isn’t under pressure to perform. Instead, one gets the opportunity to talk, correct previous mistakes, listen, react, and, generally learn about the person. Communication is the most important thing we do as developers. All computer problems are people problems. Let’s interview like that’s the case. One walks out of a technical discussion usually feeling pretty good. Interviewees like to spout reckons. Interviewers like to hear and react to those reckons. We get to work out if we can work together based on how reasonable our reactions are, whether we’re willing to give ground where we’re wrong, and, generally demonstrate how we like to work."
