TL;DR: Avoid hiring people/companies that seem delusional ("no problem at all!") or defeatist ("that's impossible") when asked to bid on a challenging (impossible?) task.
- compiler-guy 8y agoThe key is that it is "challenging, but possible". For the specific test: "Can you provide a very large amount of very freshly squeezed Orange Juice at an annoying time", the answer for a good provider is, "Yes, but I'll need a large staff and some logistical coordination. That is expensive, but if you are prepared to pay, I can do it." If you say, "Not possible", you have failed because it is obviously possible, it just takes time and money. If you say, "No problem", you have failed, because you don't understand what makes it difficult. Possible but expensive.
