Interviews — louder for the people in the back (Zoë Hall)

Posted on Jan 21, 2026

This is not how engineers work together. On real teams, we review code asynchronously, take time to understand context, ask clarifying questions, form opinions, get feedback, collaborate, and refactor. We don’t debug unfamiliar systems while someone silently watches us sweat bullets. When interviews are built around live performance, they’re not measuring engineering ability.

This exactly . Well said, Zoë Hall. 🎯
