Handwritten coding is a significant assessment tool in tech industry interviews, particularly in major tech hubs like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, and throughout the USA. It's valued because it eliminates reliance on autocomplete and syntax highlighting, forcing candidates to demonstrate genuine understanding of programming concepts. This practice emerged from FAANG company (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) interview protocols and has become standard in Brazilian tech bootcamps and international tech recruitment.
