Interviewing Sr. Software Engineers Who Can Think:

I was reading this click-baity page and had a relization, although this page is being contravertial to get traffic it can be a good filter:

Each one of these items is something that can be intelligently discussed in an interview and will show both how a candidate thinks and how much she knows about industry best practices.

It reminds me of one of the more fun interview questions I used to use in Machine Learning/Data Science: ''' why is this funny? '''

Not only does it reduce stress levels in an interview, it gives less-academically prepared candidates an oppertunity to practically shine.
