"if you haven’t been programming for a while, you can’t program anymore."
I do not agree with this at all. For a person who has a proper understanding of how a computers works from the basics, getting up to speed on any language and paradigm might take a short time but telling a person they cannot program anymore is complete BS.
Ok, object oriented environments are now more common but so what; they were invented 50 years ago and most of us have had some exposure to them at least on a general level.
So telling us we can't program anymore because we cannot pick up your laptop and your editor and toss out a program in five minutes is not a test of the person, but more designed to make the tester feel superior.
I am happy that I do not have to interview with Josh Carter.
