If companies do whiteboard coding, people get mad. If companies ask for longform answers, people get mad. If companies ask for code examples or public repos, people get mad. What I learned over a decade of running a company is that everyone gets mad about hiring practices, just do whatever you think is best and adjust over time. And stop taking advice from people since the Internet is full of many factions whose slices make up 100% of criticism over hiring practices, so it's impossible to get any signal out of it. True about many other things. Advice is largely useless. But especially for hiring.
