> Also, hiring managers... Do you find these kind of tests useful? Why? How?
Former hiring manager.
It's unfortunate because it is a bit insulting. However, there are some people who lie. They lie about being able to code. I don't want to hire a senior dev who I then have to fire shortly thereafter.
A simple, short coding test that any senior dev should be able to do quickly in their language of choice or a longer project that they get paid for are my two favorite options to filter out folks who say they are senior devs but can't code.
