> Before I start though, I have to say, if a company is going to hire a developer based solely and entirely on a piece of code the developer wrote in an interview, you probably don’t want to work there. This is something I read many times when talking about interviews, and it makes no sense. Either there is a nonzero chance to be more successful in the interview if you perform good in coding exercises, or not. If the former, then there was at least one person in the history of mankind who was hired depending solely on the coding.
