Lol. Actually, they are the kind of questions us really sr people ask to ensure people are willing to actually do work.

Anyone who brushes off a question stating that it's beneath them is going to get walked right out of the building by my team.

Yeah, no. Senior people don't want someone to waste time coming up with their own bug ridden solution when it's readily available elsewhere in a peer reviewed form. That kind of experience is what makes gives them the senior qualifier.
So Palantir wants senior people who still know how to write code. If you consider it below you, then don't work there. What's the problem?
Which team is that? I'd like to know so I can avoid it.
Ditto. Sounds like a bunch of egos I want to avoid at all costs.
Don't get up. I'd gladly show myself out.
