I've been coding since I was around 12. I've been doing it for around three decades now...
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I work for a company that has a pretty strick no assholes policy. We've passed on a number of "rock stars" because we knew how personally toxic they were to a team. I do some of the culture fit (which we do first) and tech interviews.
We don't care all that much if you get it right or wrong. I mean if it's all wrong and the candidate has no clue why sure. But sometimes candidates get stressed out being on display, being pressed for time, trying to come up with the most optimized answer instead of just completing. If it's all wrong and the candidate can tell me exactly why and what they'd need to do to get it right, that's mostly a pass for us.
Ultimately wanna see a) how you think, what is your thought process and b) that you can grow.
That sounds like a very sane and sensible way to behave.
