See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12653628 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12653628. Far more "software engineers" at Google do the exact same thing that I do all day long than do the type of work you're referring to.

What do you mean? > I'm pretty sure that the people who Google hires to do Javascript/HTML/CSS do not normally go through this type of interview. Completely false.
