I wish I were. Every single programming job interview during my 15 years of programming experience either wastes time assessing basic literacy or takes less than 30 minutes to achieve selection.
That basic literacy comes in different forms, like can you read code in your desired language, or other various forms. Even still I have frequently worked with people that struggle to read/write whether in code or especially in natural language.
Let’s cut the bullshit and not dance around it. Just assess it directly. If a person cannot write in natural language they will not have the cognitive competence to write original software. The very best you could hope for is some framework junky that can extend/modify boilerplate.
