  You need to ask questions that you can solve in something like a quarter of the time you're allocating for the interviewee, not just the same time. Even if you're interviewing someone with your exact skill set and domain knowledge (and you aren't) there's just a bunch of inherent overhead in presenting someone else with a problem to solve.

  This is so obvious but so overlooked. Every time I added an interview question I gave it to engineers at the company whose abilities I knew will and administered it like an interview. If they didn't crush it with plenty of time it didn't make the cut. I don't know why this isn't more common - why even HAVE interview questions if they aren't trying to learn something in particular and how can you do that without both intent and calibration? I had a lot of strong opinions about the interview process but that usually put me at odds with the people above. Interviewing sucks. Everyone would benefit from taking a moment and remembering how much it sucks for the humans involved. Bring as much empathy to the table as possible!
