I understand and I just think it's fair for the company to have the interview their way, it's up to us at the end.

Chad is not talking about whatever is fair for the company, he's talking about better ways to approach job candidates on which I completely agree.

I can assure you I'm not the best full stack developer, but beyond my decent skills, I would say my personality has opened many doors at workplaces than my skills, to the point that managers don't want to let me go, offer salary increases, and even give me side jobs after leaving the company. All that occurs because I am a team player, provide great customer service, are positive on any situation (issues) 99% of the time, have a sense of humor, doesn't get easily offended, are reliable, etc. Most of those personality traits are difficult to show when asked to code something too difficult.
