Lol. Sorry to hurt you. I completely understand that problem solving skills are very important. Without analytical and logical thinking skills, it is definitely not easy for anyone to survive as a developer.

But we had a practice here in my company itself where vague written test to write programs were given without even testing their analytical and logical skills. Anyone who can memorize the code can get through the test but on floor they will struggle.

I completely agree that we can give the candidates some technical questions or even ask them to write simple programs but asking them questions only on the syntax part and rejecting them just because they didn't have the syntax on their finger tips is something that is changing nowadays. Especially with microservices and front end development and all, the developers are given full freedom to write code in any language they want.

That's how we are transforming.
