Honestly, I just ask if they can solve FizzBuzz. It shows me how they approach problems, how they communicate their process, and that they know basic programming concepts. The rest of the interview just kinda tells me if I'd get along with them as a person. Most other things, good and bad, only show up over time.

Then again, I work with software that isn't exceptionally complex.
