Exact same problems, especially remote. I honestly don't know what is happening with engineers coming out of school/bootcamps, they just legit cannot code but go for these coding jobs. who is hiring them? I remember making fun of "fizzbuzz" as an interview question because it's too easy but I legit have had people fail fizzbuzz! In languages they chose!
I hate technical interviews, I've been given questions like "implement binary search", like okay, I can do that, but this is an annoying question. So I try to keep mine very light, "let's just chat about code, show me you can do basic stuff", and I'm just constantly disappointed.
It's rough out there and when you finally find them you they use your offer to get more money from their current job or another offer. Sigh. :)
