Live Coding Interviews Show Nothing About Whether A Candidate Is Qualified.

Yesterday I posted on my Mastodon that "Coding interviews should be replaced with code review interviews."

This post went "wooly" (Mastodon equivalent of viral) and has gotten a fair amount of traction. Some of the responses were defending the practice and trying to explain how they use it. I honestly don't care. Live coding is not a valid way of seeing if a candidate is qualified for the position.
