I interviewed for IonQ and while quantum computing sounds like bullshit the job sounded fun. But they sent me a take home coding project and I noped out immediately.

I have 15 years experience. Im not a junior dev trying to prove myself.

Why is this the standard now?

Because HR and recruiters have become even more stupid, while technology has become more complex and changes even faster.

Back in my day it all started with "Need 5 years of experience in Java" when Java was barely 2 years old.
