All your doing is testing if someone memorized the same APIs and libraries as you have, and has recently done whatever project you just did that's just like this (except it took you a week, and now that you know how to do it you think someone else should be able to do it in an hour). But your company already has one of you and doesn't need another.
- tene 8y agoI was including time spent reviewing documentation there. I definitely don't have any of those memorized. I almost never write code without frequently consulting an API reference. Am I misunderstanding you, or are you really saying that you expect someone to take a week to write a program that spawns a couple of threads and makes a couple of HTTP requests?
- nobleach 8y agoIn my case (the GP here) no I don't care WHAT framework/language the candidate users. But they DO have to know how to use a webclient of some sort. And any person with experience in any common stack should be able to perform a data fetch. If you can't do that, you're probably not a fit as that half of what our microservices do. Regarding whether my company would like, or needs another me, you'd have to ask them. I believe they'd say they would like several more of me. And there's nothing wrong with that. I provide a good amount of value.
