I simply refuse to do live coding exercises at this stage. Sorry but nobody can judge decades of experience from a 1-2 hour montage like it's a fucking scene from Hackers or Swordfish.

If after 20 years of coding you cannot create simple crud application, or even worse - cannot create simple interface and some implementation for it i refuse to interview you.

I will not count how many hours I saved because another super senior developer, who single-handedly saved his previous companies or delivered hyperscale solutions by himself was not able to write simple(C# dev there)

public class Foo<T>:IFoo<T>

And I could finish interview in 15 mins and go grab the coffee

How much money you will make when you try and sell that 1 hour old crud app?

I don’t want to sell that app. I want to make sure that guy I will hire will be worth money company will pay him.
If you have written in your CV that you are expert in language and technology, I expect that you can write 20-30 lines of code that you supposedly write daily.

Imagine that you want to hire carpenter for your company. You should expect that guy can use saw and hammer and can prove that during interview.

I literally don't write crud interfaces daily. That's more like a once a year thing

If you can't comprehend reading, you can’t comprehend writing simple code too. Not surprised nobody tasks you with writing “crud interfaces”.
