I love interviewing people. I've done hundreds of interviews in the past few decades, and learn something new every time. From the superstar who you really want to start working with right away, to the bozo who can't code their way out of a paper bag, I can't say that a single interview was a waste of time. The bad ones teach you how to ask questions, the good ones keep you on your toes (and during the "sales job" part of the interview, make you introspect a little on your current job, which is always good). [I wouldn't have failed the guy immediately for the "I thought this was going to be a technical interview." Then again, maybe it was the tone of his voice? He'd probably been dealing with a bunch of HR / recruiter nonsense]
