I think the interviewing method depends on the role. If it is a senior developer role that requires solid knowledge of a specific technology, I would absolutely value their ability to write code. If it is a junior dev position, then I would value critical thinking skills and attitude since they are expected to learn and grow. Regardless, I like simple coding questions. My favorite one to ask: given a string of text, output the frequency of each word. Does the candidate know how to use a map/dictionary? Can they split a string? Does the candidate consider apostrophes and punctuation?
