"no correlation"? Nonsense. If you can't program a computer, I'll find that out. And if you can't program a computer, you wouldn't be able to do the job.

The point of my coding interview isn't to give a positive result if the candidate can program a computer. It's a test that's looking for non-programmers.

There might be "false positives", but if I avoid well-known memorizable questions, there won't be "false negatives".

There will be false negatives too, but most likely not related to the skills but something else, like mental health or work ethic.
