"The interviews are spent discussing code, and writing code. It's what we programmers do day in, day out. It's the one things that matters." - very true. That's also literally the idea behind interviewing.io and similar platforms that have been making this point for years* - so they get to coding with the candidate as quickly as possible. Maximizes information for both the hiring manager and the candidate on whether they want to work together.
