Well said.

That's exactly why it pays to prepare for coding interviews. If companies are not going to be thoughtful about interviewing, candidates can either reject those companies, or prepare for those interviews. My belief is that if more candidates are professionally prepared with those closed-ended questions, this will eventually force companies to be more thoughtful.

When you have 15 years of general experience covering servers, databases, programming languages and other tools, its difficult to choose something to brush up on.

Agreed, but what is my option? I can't expect companies to just talk about what I've done, take it at face value and hand me a lucrative job. Not to mention that things change in tech so often.
