Yes, it's the reason I'm not currently employed in the software industry. After a decade of being a professional developer, I decided to start building physical things and learning other maker skill sets. Whenever I need some extra income I start looking at software jobs, but I'm not able to think clearly during these sort of test situations, and they don't usually go well. I've built so many things from software products and businesses from scratch and could do so again, but it just makes me bitter to even subject myself to this initiation. I would be much happier (and companies would have more diverse candidates) if a resume and past experience did the talking like other professions.
