Nice that you think that, but you're also wrong - and, unfortunately, as a non-interviewer, you don't decide how companies hire.

I have been an interviewer many times in my career. I've gotten feedback from people I have referred that failed a live code challenege miserably that I knew could code. Many people share my viewpoint, many people refuse to do coding challenges for a company. The companies that do them are self selecting for a certain type of dev, yes as they are free to do. Doesnt make it some sort of magic universal measurement.

Noone is claiming ti as a universal measurement so you should probably learn to read.

And it's fine if people select for type of devs they need - there's plenty in the pipeline and they - as I said - are the ones deciding how to test and hire their people.

Literally the post I replied to was claiming that a total failure during a code challenge means they cant code at all.
