@M1sf3t i would argue it depends on location (city/country).
The jr dev test where i work is literally 3 case conditional using modulo to print a string. Its a 3 minute test that takes applicants 40+ minutes to get it wrong. (90-95% fail rate)
There used to be a time where i was in charge of the test. No applicant ever passed it, and no, it was not hard at all (between kyu 7 and 8 if you are familiar with codewars labeling) -
kotman12385y@M1sf3t just like any good comic it hyperbolizes the situation. To give you a real-life example of a junior dev derping hard: I had one try to store a request-scoped variable to a member variable from multiple request threads because "I didn't want to keep passing it as a method argument." It took every ounce of willpower not to dump my coffee on him when he tried arguing with me. Yea, that pull PR gave me a couple gray hairs for sure.
Stories like that plus all the meetings we have to attend, deadlines we have to pull out of our ass, and just general stress related to being the last line of defence during prod issues make this one pretty relatable to senior devs. -
Being a jr dev, this feels so true. But sadly that amazing senior is leaving the company :/
