Yeah for sure. Those puzzles always feel so trivial. Curious to know how junior devs will respond to those questions. It's definitely a more common route in a senior dev or DevOps engineer interview. Have you had good experiences with systems engineering implementation scenarios? Add a feature to a codebase you're familiar with, etc?

At a previous job we used to walk through "How would you tackle the task of creating a class registration system for a local college?" It went well for mid level engineers -> seniors, but I never really saw a junior tackle that particular problem. Maybe something a bit more watered down would work better.
