That resonates. Me too!
Here's Pew's Janna Anderson in 2015:
"Algorithms are taking over much of the human work of hiring humans. And, unless they are programmed to seek out currently undervalued and difficult-to-track factors, they may tend to find that the more robot-like a human is the best she or he will be at doing most jobs. So, it could be that the robots are most likely to hire the most robotic humans."

I find the whole gamified system to be bizarre and disheartening no matter which side of the table you're on.
To me, looking at modern tech interviewing is like comparing the gold standard OCEAN and the emergent HEXACO in personality surveys. Take the former on a bad day and it may leave the test taker feeling bad about themselves. The latter, much kinder and gentler in messaging around strengths and weaknesses.
That "by design" quality strikes me as missing from the entire tech interview system. If it weren't broken, this would not be a 7-year conversation updated yesterday:
