oh you want a code challenge for the interview? sure let me do that just like the 5 other companies i've had to do that for

like dude, look at any one of my multiple websites, saas apps, or mobile apps i've shipped. obviously i know what i'm doing

It is to see how you think 🤡

@ ars1 Are you really smart enough to evaluate how a proven coder thinks? I'm with FSC; if you've done the job, that proves you are up to doing the job. I did a code test for people who wanted 10 non-trivial SQL problems solving in an hour - equivalent to upwards of 350 such things solved in a working week. The total number I've authored, over approx ten years of dev work, would be around 200. They're still looking to fill the role, three months later. I've got no sympathy for employers who say they can't find enough devs - smarter companies hire quicker.

@spongegeoff I know, I was being sarcastic because that's the shit I've read that is used as an excuse. I just walk people through code I've made, why I picked one solution over another one, what challenges I faced, etc. Takes around 15 minutes, much less than going through their whole charade.

@spongegeoff "FSC", I really like the sound of this name 😏

@ars1 fucking stupid circus 😂

I let people write some code. A* or so. I honestly don't care what they develop, I even think it is fine if they can share something like a git repo or so. I just want to see some of their work. And then I want them to explain the code, nothing special just the non obvious things. This might sound stupid but the amount of people who can't explain the exit condition of their recursive function is oddly huge. Either a) just copied that or b) I dunno... drugs?
Also I check if they match with the team. E.g. similar ideas of good quality code. I'm open for a lot of things, but for example I hate TDD. I know it has benefits and I write tests for my code. My code has a test coverage 80-90%, but I don't like TDD and if you love TDD. We are no match. Doesn't mean yours or mine is better, it just means constant arguing and I want to be productive. If you show me on the other hand why and so on. I'm open to learn. Finding a good partner is hard.

This is no junior position. That is different.
