It's the mark of a toxic person probably. But aren't we all to some extent ? I too am fed up of candidates so shit we need to grind them through linked list and sorting exercise to find the one that can actually code a simple function, out of the 50 we interview that couldn't even start writing.

People have no idea how many candidates try to apply to backend dev job in an investment bank for 100k a year in China with NO experience in banking, computer science or life in general. Between the guys telling you their dream job is to do nothing and be paid for it, and the dude looking beyond his screen at his friend filling the exercise for him, I've seen it all.
