>Someone sounds pretty entitled.
Maybe the guy who wants me to volunteer 2 hours of my time before deigning to have a conversation with me?
>You know how burdensome it'd be to verify that your repos were fully yours
I've never interviewed anybody who lied about the provenance of their repos. I'm pretty sure if I did, it would come out in a 5 minute conversation during the interview.
If one or two gifted liars slipped through the hiring funnel into the interview stage before being found out I wouldn't view it as a tragedy.
>This notion that 2 hours is a lot of time, well plenty of engineers would rather have that than waste a few months memorizing algorithms they'll rarely use.
2 hours is fine for an interview, but it's way too long to spend on a speculative application for one company.

- crdoconnor 9y agoI limit myself to about 15 minutes' effort before talking to somebody who works at the company. I don't find it limiting, no. I am only very rarely asked to jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops.
- jasonlotito 9y agoThat's not what I asked.
