Pairing in Factorio for an hour could replace a round (or two) in an interview loop. I'm convinced it would produce much stronger signals for engineering teams on how folks approach solving problems in a collaborative/team setting.

I used to think my burnout was from long hours, but I recently got a chance to work on a greenfield project at work and loved every second of the 60-70h weeks just building something really cool with a small team.
The burnout nearly vanished during this time and only recently has started to reappear and I have a much better understanding now of what causes burnout for me specifically.

This exists actually for software development. I went through the AWS Software Development Engineer Apprenticeship when I made a career change from Military & Government work into Software.
Similar programs exist at Google, Lyft, and a few other tech companies.
Apprenti, the non-profit that administers the AWS apprenticeship, is doing pretty great work getting people into tech form non-traditional roles.
