Differences in outcomes across race and sex are not indications of bias. There are cultural and historical differences between groups that explain different average performance. Anyone suggesting that these differences are proof of racial superiority are ignorant and racist.
And the suggestion that coding interviews are biased is insane. Everyone has access to leetcode. Virtually everyone can buy a copy of Cracking the Coding Interview. It's the one portion of the interview that doesn't rely on having the right history or circumstances. If you work hard or are naturally gifted then you can succeed on the coding interview.
Regardless, the author's point stands. It doesn't matter whether you think coding interviews matter. As long as they exist, you'll have to play along to get certain jobs. Selfishly I should stop trying to convince potential competition to embrace them.
