I’ve been ruminating on what’s a good tech interview methodology since mine is good at finding junior programmers but not senior ones. But what if we did a 2-3 hour pair programming session where we fix bugs in an open source project? I think it would cover hard skills (actual coding), soft skills (git, reading and writing PRs) and address the “I don’t want to do free work for a company under the guise of an interview” And so what if we use AI? Realistically, that’s how coding will be done anyway. Thoughts? Has anyone tried this?
