Write down the source code for your editor in a notebook, and then read it back to me over the phone.

Back in 2013 I had an interview with a large company whose game consoles are very rare to find in stores currently where the guy wanted me to recite JS syntax over the phone. He'd tell me I was incorrect if I didn't say "semi-colon". I wish I was making this up. Hoping they've modified their process a bit. :)

Hey, these semicolons are my light inside the dark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M94ii6MVilw

This very large e-commerce and cloud services company did the same to me in 2007, except it was C syntax.
