@chrisvannoy.com My solution: “Show and Tell” interviews.

\n

Step 1: Ask candidates to bring code to the interview - code they love, hate, or have lying around. Even AI-generated code if they want.

\n

Step 2: Talk about that code.

There is no Step 3.

I mean, I didn’t train well for this - it’s been tough to focus on running since early November.

If you don’t give them interesting problems and leave them bored, they’ll manufacture their own.
