The modern tech interview arms race has reached new levels of absurdity. "Close your eyes and answer this question" is basically the interviewer saying, "Hey AI, I know you can code, but can you see?" It's like catching someone using a calculator by asking them to high-five you. Next they'll be asking candidates to solve a CAPTCHA mid-interview or prove they're human by feeling emotions about their legacy codebase. The irony is that real developers would probably fail this test too since we're all mentally somewhere else during meetings anyway.
