Which probably explains why so many companies complain about not being able to hire 'quality' programmers. Their interview process is broken because it is dominated by egoistic nerdy programmers who cannot see beyond those tests.

When I interviewed candidates I never make them do those tests. The ones I hire was able to do the work anyway so it wasn't an issue.

My only complaint is lack of application of the job position.

Wished all my interviewers have your mindset. definitely agree with your points. I don't fancy interviewers that judge a candidate based on whether he/she still remember the language syntax/detailed implementation of some data structure/algo that one has studied like eons ago which can be easily referenced via google nowadays.
