Wasting time in tech interviews
To be fair most of the people employed at FAANGs are just moving things between protocol buffers and hash maps and back again. They just make the interview hard because they pay a high salary and get too many applicants.

Isn't that all any computer program is? Every AAA game is just moving input from the keyboard and mouse to the video card and network.
The devil is in the details, of course.
