I say this every time this sort of article comes up here, but seeing how ridiculous this field has become, I wish I had chosen a different career path.

I don’t know if I’m going to be able to go through all this bullshit the next time I’m looking for a job.

I have a friend who is a pharmacist and I asked her what a typical interview is like for her. She said interviewers will typically ask something like “tell me about a difficult situation you had to deal with at work?”.

No homework, whiteboards, group interviews, or stupid puzzles. No bullshit.

That's just another form of bullshit. I'd much rather write a for loop than try to figure out if the interviewer wants an honest answer or a humblebrag.
