Yeah, these are my favourite types of interviews on both sides of the fence. A great way to just try to get inside someones thinking. I used to like pair programming interviews as well, where you just implement something together.

We used to do a take-home assignment (which probably LLMs have ruined now) and then extend it further in the pairing interview. There was no one right way to do the assignment. Different approaches (functional, object oriented, tdd/bdd) would all become part of the discussion.
