Should working code even be part of an interview? Seems like a situation rife with abuse.

Need free contractors? Just put your code issues up as a 4hr take home interview test.

Pseudocode/general thought process walkthrough should be the only thing imo. Oh no, the interviewee forgot a semicolon, so he is trash at coding and is a no-fit is complete bullshit.

how the applicant thinks breaks down problems and handles how to answer them matters more than if the code is actually functional on the spot
