Your not an asshole like your friend. But it sounds like you are not an A player hiring other A players. What you are doing is going to net you a C or worse.

Put yourself in an A players shoes. Your trivia on the spot question shows you value unimportant things. A players can see talent in small signals and can map out a candidates profile you are trying to filter candidates by nonsense that doesn't map to the job. That leads to random results.
Hiring is an important management responsibility that most developers should not be involved with unless they are part of the management track hopefully with some training
- mjr00 4y ago> Hiring is an important management responsibility that most developers should not be involved with unless they are part of the management track Absolutely, this is what it boils down to. After a certain point (like 15-20 engineers or so) you need someone in management to actually come up with an interview plan. Letting developers just wing interviews and ask trivia questions is a sign of an immature organization and is a big red flag for anyone senior coming in.
