What's the deal with testing on recursion anyway? Like is it just something that people faking programming skill don't get? It's certainly not something I use much in actual programming.

Yeah, that's the other side of things. A lot of "experienced coders" barely do any programming on a daily basis, and often when they do, it's doing maintenance work on stuff that is five or ten years old.

They are experts on the system they work on but what good does that do for their next employer?

I feel step 2 of the interview should be "ok, how would you refactor that code so that someone who doesn't know bit wise operators could understand it?"
