> if a senior person can't in 30/45 min of talking with someone figure out the general experience level then the problem is them, really.
This is why I've always been so confused. Why is the software engineering interview wildly different from the traditional engineering interview (seniors sit down with candidates and discuss how to solve a relevant proxy problem the team is currently undergoing (has the side benefit of making the interview process potentially fruitful if you don't go with that candidate. This can be (and sometimes is) abused though)). I mean... we all speak the same language, and that isn't standard English... right?
