In this AI era, they are still looking for candidates to know the exact syntax and are conducting interviews as if it were 2018. There was zero collaboration during the interview — it felt more like a viva. The interviewer joined 15 minutes late, gave no introduction, kept the camera off, and asked me to code decorators for a login system. Even after I explained the approach clearly, he insisted on the exact syntax. An interview often reflects the inner culture of a company.
