Interviewing an experienced and credentialed developer like they’re an undergrad sophomore with a one sentence resume looking for a summer internship shows to me that if an employer is going to waste the time of a candidate (and implicitly insult their intelligence and education), then they will waste the time of an employee, and such they represent an organization I want no part of.
Except it isn't a waste of time. Most of the credentialed, experienced people looking for a job in this current market can't do it. Most of the people actively looking for work in this field don't have a job for a reason.
Have you ever been a part of the hiring process, or are just stating that it's a waste of time because you think it's somehow beneath you to prove that you can do basic work? You know those annoying people in you group projects who don't do any work, but somehow squeak by? They graduate to, and get a job to.
