It's more accurate to say that the current format of asking algorithm questions is not the best way to judge programmers ability. All it tests is how much has the programmer memorized for the interview and not really how he codes in the real world.

But i dont see this changing as most interviewers have been through the system and are likely average programmers themselves.
