I found this a useful quick read: we all know interviewing is often "broken" (for some value of broken); this is some good, constructive ideas and examples of how to do better. In particular, asking questions without a predefined narrative seems to be a winning strategy in these stories. There simply is no way to ask how to e.g. reverse a string and turn that into a critical thinking problem. By giving up control of the destination instead and asking questions that explore a new, un-predetermined topic, the interviewer can create a much richer and meaningful exploration for both sides. Giving up control as a means to empower appears to be the order of the day again. It's quite the metameme.
