I am also not a fan of the "hey code this while I watch you" process. There is no reality to this process, I have written code that many of the people "testing" me would not have ever considered, does that make me some super programmer? NO, it makes me a guy that had no other choice so I learned it and did it. Asking me to write your next brainfuck interpreter or whatever algorithm you want may or may not result in positive results, but either way you will learn very little of what I am capable of in your pre determined time period. If you want to know what I can offer after 25+ years in this industry, look at what I have done, talk to me for 15 minutes without the entitled attitude that tells me you are a new grad and have no real world experience. That fact is, I don't care if you are a new grad, but I admit I do get excited when I meet new grads because that means I can likely learn things from you, at least as much as you can learn from me. But in the end, don't BS me, I've written production level code for years and (overall) know the reality versus your fiction you are telling yourself. In the end, I don't mind hard questions or questions that are related to the issue you will have me solve. But to ask me to write an array reversal in Javascript and I do so at a low level and you ding me cause I didn't use some new fangled framework is just an indictment of your own education not my experience.
