I'm so not ready for / to be a gatekeeper to software development jobs.

I got the 2 easy ones correct but probably not elegant or efficient.
I made attempts at 2 mediums and couldn't solve either but I could write some code, which doesn't count?

For real work I would have googled it, used StackOverflow or chatgpt or a 3rd party library if it was a general problem.

Okay, using to eliminate people who can't solve "easy" problems, i.e. they can't code their way out of a paper bag, I can get behind that. I've watched my share of people with 0 ability to solve anything.

It's the solving medium to hard ones that I'm skeptical about. Or I'm wrong.
