I share a lot of the author's sentiments and frankly a lot of the tech interviews I've had were terrible and I've also been on the other side of the table and made great hiring decisions based on conversations about past experience rather than grilling the interviewee. BUT at the same time, I think if we want to change the state of affairs software development and engineering needs to actually standardise what the body of knowledge that's essential to the job is, create a testable credential around it and make sure your candidates pass like in other engineering and tech disciplines. That's really the solution.
