LOL! absolutely.
I think the skills tested on tech interviews are important, though; At least fundamentals. I don't encounter many people that consider time and space complexity of a unit of code (big O notation) and that's unfortunate.
Data structs and their method for language built-ins are already optimized so I get that most people just use them but man, I see so many developers not even choose the correct structures. That includes me until I started leetcoding for a new job after 4 years of professionally work.
But of course, this needs to stay in reason. Asking Brainteasers and optimizations like dynamic programming are dick moves. I don't want my team to prematurely optimize and make our code base complex just cause.
