My approach is to provide 3 topics of conversation (no right answers just talking): Let's say the person is applying to be a dev in product P. 1 how would you build an mvp for P? Which stack, what are the main issues, how would you deploy etc (usually I ask if it were a side project , so I can see which technologies are in the intersection of fun and reliable for this person)

2 what would be a moonshot feature for P? (If you had a perfect AI lib or unlimited processing power or devices spread all over the world)

3 if you had to find someone to take over your job (for you to manage the new one), what would you look for?
