Everyone seems to agree live code interviews are both terrible and necessary.

I'm a self-taught coder without a degree. I guess it may be extra frustrating for graduated candidates where your hard-earned degree buys you no credibility for skill.

Kinda similar, after ten years of lead development coding every day in the enterprise on huge projects I still don't get a pass on the code interviews.

I will say, if you're trying to career pivot and apply for a management or product or sales engineering role etc., lots of technical experience does carry weight in interviews.
