It is insulting to someone with tens of thousands of lines of public code in open source. You can work at a tech giant for half a decade and slip under the radar with no way to prove or disprove your competency there unless you can get references from the job, but for those who have put out tons of work for free having those who want them to write code for them asking for grade school pop questionnaires is an insult to their expertise. You don't ask a published drug researcher with patents or papers written to build simple molecules out of building blocks during the interview, but in software even senior engineers are asked to regurgitate things from CS202 for decades on end instead of actually acknowledging their accomplishments or talking about their legitimate capabilities.
