If the job requires you to create internally facing apps from scratch a lot then an interview that asks you to do that makes more sense. Working across the stack is different from creating an app from scratch. My only point is that good interviews should focus on skills/tasks that the job requires.

Sorry you mean for your work at the startup your frequently creating apps from scratch or when you first start the startup or you’re just sometimes creating new apps on the side?

yes building a CRUD app is simple but there are a lot of developers who havent created an app from scratch in a long time. It's definitely a signal if they cant figure out how to do that (although on the spot always sucks). Just noting that it's not likely super close to actual job responsibilities

Ok, I've worked at many a startup (literally cofounding one now) and we don't build new apps from scratch ever. We work on our startup... Maybe they're unusual but that wouldn't be obvious...

Interviews always suck, but the chances of you being asked to build an app on the spot on the job are 0% so not sure how best to think about this.
