I think we're both on the same page that the standard "tech interview" model is broken.

I think we're both on the same page that the standard "tech interview" model is broken. I don't have a problem with doing work sample tests. I have a problem with contrived samples that aren't representative of my coding abilities. My justification is that I have oodles of experience. I'm happy to prove it -- I just don't think generating an ASCII spiral is a good test of whether I am qualified or not.
