>so we can be appropriately impressed and perhaps discuss interviewing.

Something comes across really badly here for me. Some weird mix of bragging, mocking, with a hint of aloof.

I feel these top end companies like the smell of their own farts and would be an insufferable place to work. This does nothing but reinforce it for some reason.

I have to agree. It's off-putting to me too. I'm impressed by the performance of their models on this take-home but I'm not impressed at their (perhaps unintentional) derision of human programmers.

Remember: It is a company that keep saying how much production code can be written by AI in xx years, but at the same time recruiting new engineers.
