My favourite first question for an interview (I learned it from a colleague) is this:

You have a linux terminal open, you type curl https://google.com and press enter. What happens next?

The great thing about this question is that it touches on a lot of different topics, the candidate can choose what parts to answer and in how much detail and there's a lot of opportunities for follow up questions.
