Oddly -- I've never had this problem in interviews. Is it possible that it's better screening happening pre-interview at FAANG and FAANG-like places? For what it's worth, I like practical programming problems. The problem comes when the programming interviews don't match the job. Why do I need to write a sorting algorithm in an interview for an SRE position? (I worked at Dropbox for a couple of years, and my interview there was probably the best SRE coding interview I've had - detect duplicate files in a filesystem, with follow-ups about improving performance.)
