if the job goals entail lots of coding to get the code out the door, that's a live coding test, or it's falling behind with your coworkers annoyed with you. if you find that stressful, you definitely won't like the job.

the issue here is the pernicious idea that this is unfair, and that the conditions need to be changed to suit the people not getting these jobs. Now: that is a perfectly good POV if your hypothesis is that there are alternative ways of achieving equal quality and productivity, by hypotheses require testing. let the market decide, let different kinds of companies and employees flourish and thrive side by side. but the relentless assault on and bitterness toward the impatient non-nurturing approach reads like sour grapes.
