>2. Interviewing. FAANG can waste 30+ engineering hours on each candidate because of how much money they can burn. Don't do leetcode interviews. Find someone who you think is good, hire them, if they're not good let them go. Don't make a soul crushing interview process. The only "algo" I have people do is a simple Fibonacci algo. Other then that, we chat about development. It's fairly easy to determine if someone knows how to develop software, and I'm just trying to find people with the right attitude that I know I can work with. Then I give them a few months, if they don't cut it, then we part ways. That's happened once.

Not sure why I got downvoted for this. I assume because of the other comment saying that doing this is "cruel" which it isn't. At all. If someone lies and says they know how to develop, can talk about development in depth, but can't actually develop any software that's on them. I've had to fire people who did stupid algorithims and harder interviews after a few months just like the one time that I've done so with my current technique. In all cases, it's been because the person I interviewed lied. In the cases with stupid algo tests they studied how to leetcode, and not how to actually develop software.
