I applied for a job posting at Khan Academy and ran into exactly this kind of interview. It shows absolutely nothing about me other than I am not a good test taker, and without incrementally debugging my programs I am a fairly worthless programmer. I dont see how putting someone on the spot like that really extracts any knowledge about the type of person they are. All of my peers describe me as 'the best programmer they know' yet every programming interview I've ever gone to in this style doesn't work out for me. Frustrating.
