I see where the author is coming from, certainly. But, you have to realize, most hiring discussions on HN end up emphasizing the candidate's perspective. From my POV as an interviewee, I don't actually care about any of these myths. What I do care about is being tested fairly, using problems and scenarios that could come up in real work, not whether I can regurgitate some DP algorithm. IMO, this is what's lacking in most interview processes I have participated in, and most of these issues can be fixed by following a structured interview process. As a side benefit, you may end up with better candidates, as well. At the very least, you can actually tell if the candidates you choose to hire are as good or better than other people who have gone through your interview process, and that's worth something.
