I completely agree with this. I remember around college I applied for a tester job for over the summer. They saw I was possibly qualified for a dev role and did an interview for that instead. I wasn’t well prepared and they asked me to do a live code writing on a whiteboard. I didn’t do well.

The interviewer then went on a rant about how he doesn’t know what they teach in college these days. He sort of apologized for it in an email later but that left such a bad taste in my mouth for live coding interviews and managers that held them to that high of an esteem.
