I've seen too many interviewers obsess over whether someone can write a quick regex or a loop on a shared screen. It's such a waste of time when you're hiring for senior roles. I remember one project where we spent forty minutes debugging a simple sorting algorithm during a call, and it told me nothing about how that dev would actually design a microservice. It's better to just pull up a whiteboard or a shared doc and talk through the system boundaries instead. Testing syntax is what you do with LeetCode, not in a high-level technical round. Focus on how they handle state or data flow between services. The person who fails the regex test usually writes great code anyway.
