I don’t, but it’s not the reality. Reality is that 80% or more of companies (in my experience) rely on those types of questions for interviews.

I think the 80/20 rule applies when it comes to mature products. 20% of redesign is useful and make products better. 80% are neutral at best, and breaking at worst. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. https://www.alexkras.com&
