I'm still amazed that they still have coding interviews that tests you on syntax. when agentic/ai assisted engineering practices is way more important. What they should test you on is the top layer like architecture, concurrency concepts, UI optimization concept of a particular language API, how to debug, how to test, more of a how to read code instead of writing. They need to test you on speed at which you would detect bad code, over engineered code, bad architected code and how to remedy it.
