I've never had to write or read code in an interview. I wonder how common that is?

It's very common, I believe all the Big Tech firms have you write code.

I think the example from my story was the only one I've had where I had to _read_ code. (I have heard of people doing "code review interviews" though).

I've also had a job interviews with no code though. For startups or non-FAANG type companies.

Literally all of them, for at least the past decade, afaik. Obviously it'll vary a lot outside those though, the field employs all kinds in all kinds of ways.
