As a DevOps guy who's been screened out of companies that care about such things, I'm a mix of horrified and skeptical.
I'm horrified because I'm seeing some gross incompetence in the realm of organization in thinking, clean infrastructure and security awareness. And some of this punishes the old(er).
I'm skeptical because I think many of these interviewers are themselves lousy systems people, are building environments that may need to be bailed out one day, and to boot are probably not people persons. A people person can sense better how to conduct an interview to feel out how to determine whether the candidate is clever and useful.
I took a managerial route so I'm mostly immune now, but boy do those cocky coding interviews stick in my craw when I think about them.
