From a practical standpoint, who is hurt? In my day to day job, I would have Google, StackOverflow, ChatGPT (as long as I didn’t paste proprietary code or business logic), prior code samples from my previous job[1], etc.
But this is theoretical, I haven’t had a coding interview in over a decade and then only once and not for the prior decade before that. Even though I’ve always been a hands on keyboard coder.
I can’t imagine subjecting myself to a coding interview at almost 50 years old with the types of jobs I would be looking for if I left my current job (enterprise/cloud architecture + leading application development/cloud )
All of my prior jobs have come from just talking to people in charge of hiring (usually director/CxOs) and using my network.
My current job in cloud consulting (cloud app dev/“DevOps”) at $BigTech was all behavioral even though I have developed in 4 languages in the last three years.
[1] Future me: my company has a very straightforward open source process where we can get approved to put our code on our open source GitHub organization with an MIT license as long as we write it from scratch and doesn’t have any customer identifying information or business processes.
