Geez I could not agree more. Not only has it, overall, been a bad investment of time (for myself and others I know around me in the field) but so many companies are unclear in what they're looking for in that test to begin with.

I wrote a thing about it and I got someone who responded to me with a rather scathing rebuttal. I don't know, it's very conflicting.

It's polarizing. Everyone has their own viewpoint and it feels like that's the viewpoint they cling to and so it becomes personal when you go against it. Something like that, anyways.

Edit: better wording
