I'm sorry, this is just non-sensical -- I do not mean to say that all interviewing practices are good or that there is not a lot of great humor in your post giving away the original book -- but as someone who has hired many software engineers and persevered through some coding questions as a candidate, these things have value. IT's nothing about "worker drone" or "rot your brain" -- companies need some ways to see if people can 1. code and 2. collaborate before adding them to the team. Candidates need ways to understand what those hiring processes (not just the coding question) are like and to have a fair chance to prepare for them.
