As someone who has founded a startup before, not much of this is true. In fact, it's pretty much all just hyperbole and disinformation.
Regardless, I found this part amusing:
> not test you to see if you can write code and think logically
The article you are commenting on doesn't suggest that you shouldn't have to write code during an interview. Quite the opposite, in fact.
> check to see if you are a good cultural fit
Oh, and this doesn't mean what you think it means. Let me put this another way: it doesn't mean professional. In fact, it instead values the opposite of what that word implies.
