Don't just whine about bad programming interview practices. Suggest something better that wouldn't have more false positive hires (i.e., candidate can't program, but can pass interview), and maybe fewer false negatives (candidate can program, but gets filtered out anyway). This is a hard problem. Kindly think about it from the perspective of a technical interviewer who really has no idea whether the candidate on the other side of the table can program a computer or not and has to make a hire/no-hire call in 45 minutes.
