> just give candidates realistic programming challenges Not precisely a SWE, but every single piece of code I write at work is more about knowing how the immense codebases are laid out and where to insert my change which is typically simple. Given this, any "write self contained thing" is unrealistic. The only thing a coding question tells me is whether someone is happy writing simple code to solve a vaguely fun problem. That still feels useful?
