I'm giving them as an example because they're big, so it's probably not super hard for people to find the question if they want. For onsites, Heap, Hunch (and later part of eBay NYC) had a single question, seemed to work pretty well (maybe also Matasano? Not sure about them).

I don't think FB or Google could get away with that, but I think companies up to the size of Pivotal/CF includes most companies. I don't disagree that there are downsides to having a single standard question (people can and will cheat), but in practice it seems to have worked?

If you wanted to write about (or link to) how a pair programming interview works in practice, I’d be SUPER interested. I have no experience at all in that sort of interview, so I don’t even know basic stuff like who types, how to pick fair tasks for different candidates, etc

I don't know when I'd have time to fact check and edit a "real" post, let me send you a DM with some comments (since I think this will be too long to reasonably send as a series of tweets).
