>I agree. I really dislike being asked to produce code of any complexity in an interview setting, although I do think it's important to see a candidate's code to understand how they solve problems for more senior roles. I've been around the block a few times and I LOVE system design interviews, both as an interviewer and interviewee. They are much more collaborative and "fun" for me. The good news is that I've been managing for several years at this point, so those types of interviews are far more prevalent than coding.
