Insanely excessive and a waste of tokens when you could have googled how to disable a scrollbar.

This is a complete nonsense. OP has invented a tricky technical test for themselves which they have spent long amounts of time thinking about.
In an interview a candidate is not in that mindset, at least I am not. Under stress and anxiety it is very difficult to fully understand things and build good cognitive structures in the mind.

It's almost impossible for me to do any serious work or problem solving in an interview situation due to anxiety and stress-my mind simple does not work the same way as it does when relaxed and in flow.

'Principal' developer at my last place spent 100 consecutive days grinding leetcode. Shortly after had an interview where they made him do a leetcode test live and he failed it.
The whole thing is broken.

Re:AI Killed the Tech Interview. Now What?
on Thursday February 20, 2025 @03:38PM (#43119842)
None of this makes any sense. Why should I complete a tech test interview if I have 15 years of experience at X top firm? I would have done it already anyway.
I had a ‘principal engineer’ at last place who grinded leetcode for 100 days and still failed a leetcode interview. It’s utter nonsense.
A conversation with technical questions and topics should suffice. Hire fast and fire people.
