    Two and a half months is insane for a practical skills demonstration for a job interview. Those should be a couple of hours at most.

      Perhaps the biggest joke was why they rejected me. Apparently I only used “basic concepts of object oriented programming.” I found that to be the best because using anything more advanced might diffuse the logic too much, something I didn’t like. But, no, they probably think I should use everything in “Clean Code” because they probably worship that book.

        i hate that our profession has been overtaken by that snake oil. my goal is to some day fill my own development company with developers smart enough to see through that bullshit and reject it.

        no leetcode interviews, no take home tests, no bullshit. what a dream. now if i could just stop getting scammed by clients who don’t pay…
