20 years in the business, if someone asks me to do fizzbuzz or leetcode at an inteview, I'll just walk out and won't look back.
I've been doing this crap way too long to do brain teasers at an interview. I suck at them, I always have. Advent of Code makes my brain hurt.
That doesn't mean I can't design, implement and lead a team to create a service that can handle insane amounts of load with minimal cost.
Can't even think of a similarly stupid thing to ask for a different field. Are doctors quizzed on House[0] -style patient cases to see if they can tell the actual cause from the top of their head?
