i ain't gonna build a tetris game for a code test for a job that might force me to work in the office. fuck that shit. code tests are a retarded way of assessing candidates.

I'm sure there are worse ways to test your skills.

!programming example, but imagine being a functionality tester... && getting a few screenshots of a game as a test of your skills.

Reason why I failed some of the interviews.

WTF has happened to the good old days when they would provide one w/ a test build? Gimme something to break!

Presenting a functionality tester w/ screenshots as a test of his skills is like going to a doctor w/ a photo of a patient w/ a broken ankle && a scratch on the forearm, then asking 'Why has this patient's heart stopped?'.

Fucking retards.

What’s up with these damn interviews asking you to do these damn projects?? It’s fucked up, slave labor unpaid and why do all this shit for a “no”?

I failed an interview because of my uncensored response to retarded questions...was proud of myself

@retoor unless you're not required to finish it. Then it makes sense.

Yep fuck code tests. For assessing coding abilities we already have probation period once you are hired.

I suggest philosophical debate jousting instead!

can they have an argument about the way their company is setup, what are my perks, how their revenue flow is going, will I get raises? how is it any different than a codebase test?

you will find they are pussies though and get offended. can't handle a code review?

I'd honestly prefer to have a 1, 1.5 hour code review session with another dev on their team to see if we're a good fit.
