I can understand the situation you are talking about in the industry. But I have seen experienced people who fail to answer very basic questions and by experienced I mean 5-6 yrs exp guys who fail to explain about an API and proper use of HTTP verbs. I think you took it personally. When I interview people I make sure they are newer around my experience level.

And have you noticed the word 'beginners'?
Did you notice that in bold I mentioned "reducing loadtest time from 187s to 31s"?
Did anywhere I mentioned that I am an expert?
The task for pair programming is clearly stating the knowledge of basic algorithms and knowledge of caching. These two parameters along with the knowledge of multithreading were what I was looking for in that particular interview.

Is that so hard for you to understand the above points?

Finally, Scalability is a relative word and everyone learns it step by step. I can't see anything wrong about the process I followed, I also stated that I give free hand to the person I interview.

Your words seem to be hot lava flowing through the streets.
