    The bug squash interview involves askin=
    g candidates to find a bug and maybe write code to fix it. It is very effec= tive because it reflects everyday software development, it's easy for the c= andidate to self-assess their own progress, it's difficult to cheat, and ca= ndidates who are good at it are good at it because they have practiced debu= gging day in and day out their entire career. The bug squash interview test=
    s a skill rarely covered by existing interview loops. It's also fun to do.
