"Here are reasons why this thing is bad. I don't have a better option."

This type of interview related blog post seems to hit the front page every week. Almost everyone agrees that interviewing doesn't feel good and seems overly complicated/difficult/whatever.

I hate that interviewing is a skill that has to be developed, in large part, separately from other engineering skills. I also don't really enjoy SQL/Database work. But I've gained enough competence in SQL that I'll be fine in most jobs. The same is true for my interviewing skills.

I don't have a singular, one-size-fits-all better option, but I explicitly included several options that I've seen work well either as the applicant or from the hiring side. I just wasn't going to presume that there's one perfect replacement that will work for every team or role.

You just listed off a bunch of ideas. A lot of thought and argument went into the current arrangement and you’re just giving us a brainstorm.
