Very true, because an experienced engineer had internalised that the hard part of this field is not writing code. A company that focused all on that in their hiring process means they're either misguided, or are looking for inexperienced "coding monkeys."

In a productive day as a solo dev, hitting keys on my keyboard is the easiest part, the hardest part is thinking about a problem in front of my notepad, usually staring out my living room window or while taking a shower.
