Technical interview methods pale in comparison to playing Factorio with someone
Please don&#x27;t. Better, I&#x27;ll remove the please and go JUST DONT FUCKING DO IT.<p>Hiring is broken because most people hiring aren&#x27;t good at it and the people working in tech are pretty much idiots (I&#x27;m focusing more on SV-startup, 5hour discussion about aeropress, put people down because they chose vim or emacs - people kinds). From &#x27;cultural&#x27; fit interviews (who the fuck cares if you are a sikh or an atheist, whiskey drinking or think alcohol is evil? You are hired to do a job, not much more). This &#x27;i have my social life at work, so I want people I can hang out with&#x27; shit has got to end. I work remotely for 10+ years and I can see in interviews&#x2F;meetings the people that seem to base their identity and life around work, and the ones that actually are well rounded people that don&#x27;t care about which coffee grind size you use on your morning crap of joe.<p>I have been a professional boxer and dabbled with MMA&#x2F;Grappling. I can say most things in the article can apply. So.. at the end of the interview just get them in gloves and duke a few rounds? I would be sued out of existence, but for some reason, between take home assignments, 10h whiteboard drilling and whatever the fuck is hip now (leetcode or what not), interviewing is broken because people are idiots. I have been interviewing people for the last 5 years. If in an one hour talk that is semi technical, you can&#x27;t understand if the person knows what the fuck they are doing or not, then the problem is you, not the whiteboard or the take-home or the paid assignment. Just admit most people interviewing others for technical positions have not fucking clue or training, BUT, hey, they are smart people from Standford or MIT, so &#x27;how hard can it be&#x27; and we get the clusterfuck that it is now
