You act as if it's on the person interviewing to set something like that up...



No they're not, you're both talking past each other. You're talking about phone-only interviews, but I don't think ALittleLight is even seeing it because that's such an obviously stupid idea it couldn't possibly be what you're talking about, so they think you're complaining about having to code.


I've literally had people ask me these types of questions while on the phone. And I "fail" on purpose because I won't attempt them. That's the point.

The fact that the internet exists and the interviewer could have used an online utility doesn't change my responsibility in that equation, that's just nuts.
