1. Ability to code.
2. Ability to perform well in a coding interview.
3. Ability to validate code.

I hate live-coding interviews. If someone is watching me, I forget how to even type. Obviously my 30+ years of writing code, all my open source stuff, my extensive resume, all those papers and conference presentations were just me faking it.
I once pushed back on this at a big tech firm.
Interview bro: hey false negatives are OK.
Me: but didn’t this process give us the zune, google wave, and the metaverse? I can guarantee reliable shipped product (see resume) you will immolate billions on obviously bad ideas. My downside risk is comparatively 0.
