Very much agree with the sentiment. Interviewing in tech is so broken that I consider myself fortunate to not have to do it anymore. It's not like I've completely retired, but I've retired from interviewing. If someone wants to hire me for contract work based on past performance or working knowledge or on my github code and if the gig is interesting I'll take it. I had a short gig last Fall like that - former coworker emailed and asked if I was interested in working on a contract project that was in my area of expertise. I did the project - they knew my past work and I knew I liked working with them, no interview dance required. But if a company wants to play the interview game (phone screen -> coding test -> full day interviews -> followup interview, etc.) then I'm not at all interested. If more of us would refuse to play the game maybe companies would try harder.
