Somehow we arent really adept at interviewing at what the day-to-day requirements of a position.
Instead were much more interested in edge-case stuff like bubble sort.
I wonder if this is some assessment of "are they capable of substantially more complex tasks, and if so, safe to assume they're capable of less-complex minutiae.
Seems about right, as often these evaluation type things are proxies.
