Job requirements for our company:
"Do you want to code?"
"Yes"
"You can start on Monday"

What could possibly go wrong. Imagine you start a business with 10 people who want to be devs but still have no clue and tell them your site requirements... now you have imagined that, can you predict how long it would take to complete that site and be ready for prod?

@We3D It doesn't mean they will still be there Tuesday. lol

@Demolishun haha, who knows, they might be motivated enough to learn, bang their heads in the wall and all the normal stuff we do to finish our tasks. If at least one of them is a natural leader who can start organizing them and see who's for what role in a team... everything is possible... but who got that time and nerves for such an experiment

Hire me, looking for a remote job after sabbatical. I do snek language

Honestly, that is how it works. You get people who want to do it and then you see whether they actually can and will do it and then you replace the ones who don't with new ones. You do that until all positions are filled with people who want to do it, can do it and actually do it.

The interview can't ever be more than a prefiltering step. The probabtion period is the actual sieve.
