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!
