Completely agree. While I feel I could probably figure it out given time, in an interview setting I would test badly at this question. Does that mean I'm a terrible developer? I don't think so. Interviews are tricky to get right. It's my opinion that interviews should aim to prove that the candidate knows enough to do the day-to-day work, plus test for good personality fit etc. After that, there should be a short probation period to learn more about each other. Honestly, my perfect interview (as a candidate) would be a quick chat about my previous work experience, some one-on-one work with another developer to solve a common problem the company faces and then a few drinks with the team to get to know everyone.
