Yeah, it sucks.

What's worse is that we ask a bunch of OOP questions at my company, but I actually hate OOP. I try to work in some FP questions, but those are really hard to ask without using similarly academic language (e.g. describe closure/thunk/partial application and what differentiates them). A lot of people don't know the terminology while knowing the application, because we only cover the terminology in one class in the middle of the curriculum (for OOP; FP was an elective for me), and it's not useful in actual work.

I just want to know if you know what you're doing, and unfortunately, a live coding session usually does the best non at that. Yeah, we're probably missing out on some great devs that just can't perform in an interview, but we're also not having to fire bad devs as much.
