> 19. Interviews are almost worthless for telling how good of a team member someone will be I've been pondering the wisdom of having engineers do interviews at all. Interviewing, and getting someone to reveal their hand to you, is a massively specific skill, one that few get good at, let alone software engineers. Why is it that we think a 2 hour course on ethics and STAR can make someone capable of telling the difference between a con artist and a genius? I do wonder if having a professional hiring team to dig into who the person is, and then just trial them for competence would be a superior strategy?
