Interviews are broken because companies are cargo cults. What Google did yesterday, Stripe will do today.
It's because to find true signals of a senior engineer needs longer than 35 mins spent on a problem and you need to pair that with a developer who is trained in the art of interviewing so that they can extract the biggest things one needs to test: overall architectural principles, thinking through things, how one protects their code from mistakes etc.
But companies are not willing to spend time doing this because HR is basically not trained even today to deal with real technical thinking.
Unless there are a bunch of devs moving into HR, things will not get better.
Companies don't care that much either. Most companies pretend they need much more talent than they actually require.
