Or even allowing 5-10 minutes to do whatever needs to be done to come up with a discussion about the problem - what it is: assumptions, possible solutions, coding, memory/time O(n) analysis, scope for improvements etc etc.
With the way interviews are currently conducted, many (like me who get debilitating panic attacks and anxiety during interviews) can't showcase their problem solving and coding skills - because more than their software skills, these interviews/interviewers seem to be assessing anxiety!
With a few minutes alone time to gather and organize thoughts, run through an LLM, come up with effective communication and have a back-and-forth friendly discussion - like how it is with colleagues. No one would want to work in an environment where everyday is like getting through stressful situations - needlessly I should say.
