They are out there, but usually in a 3~4 step process they get filtered out before the coding interview. I did a bunch of really quick 15~20 min pre-interviews to check if the person was entering the right process before we both wasted hours of our time. Some who were supposed to have coded and deployed whole applications didn’t know how their versioning system worked. Or they reviewed PR/MRs a lot and tweaked a few lines here and there but had little practical knowledge of issues you’d regularly hit when developing, and only heard of popular tools and resources by name. We could still had them onboard and give them time to get up to speed, but it’s harder to do when they weren’t upfront about it and you’re there trying to guess what else they’re bulshitting on their resume.
