> when I was interviewing developers I would give specifically vague requirements

I did this for a while and realized that it typically panicked the people we were interviewing, especially if they were on the junior/mid side of things and as a result, gave lower-quality answers.

I guess it depends on what people are hiring for but in the long list of things I need out of that person, this ends up lower on the list
