I hate this. People have IDEs and internet when working. Having to write something that can be compiled in a doc is just stupid. As someone mentioned in another comment, I also never had to actually implement a sort since I left university more than a decade ago. I'm happy to discuss the different types and approaches to how they could be done - as to evaluate problem solving, logic, and general understanding - but to actually code in an interview... In a similar way, this week I even jokes on Twitter how I'm doing many improvements and refactors on a codebase, but there's the occasional 'how I do join 2 lists on Java again?' moment when I completely forget something basic.
