Slippery slope fallacy...You are incredibly oversimplifying what he is saying. Sure, he is generalizing but he isn't citing a single coding interview to judge the entire process.

Having said that, I actually agree with him because I've learned that it's not always simple as who can't write code. I would much rather assess a candidates' ability to learn (sharpness) than the current skill-set.
