Again, nobody said “don’t test if a candidate can code”. You should do a minimal test, then move on to more important things, rather than beating the same horse

Again, nobody said “don’t test if a candidate can code”. You should do a minimal test, then move on to more important things, rather than beating the same horse. ”In my experience these types of exercises are also more random” Well, “your experience” also says that you regularly encounter senior candidates who can’t code at all. I doubt the statistical validity of your experience.
