I wrote an article about this same thing. Stop interviewing with ad-hoc code quizzes, live or take-home. I've interviewed maybe 500 engineers in my career. I'm an early engineer of Instacart, 3rd engineer of Eventbrite, founding engineer of Reforge. Started 3 companies myself. My interview is always the same: 1. Bring code you've written 2. Share your screen 3. Explain what it does and I will casually ask questions about it You get so much information from this: - How they think about code - If they think it could be better - Who they blame if the code isn't the best - Personality - Product dev glimpses - Comms - Sentiment
