For all the negativity for these type of tech interviews, they are, from what i've seen, one of the most merit based systems out there. It is either this or we need to create some sort of national developer exam. The other alternate is to get jobs at good companies, they will only look at what school you went, whether you graduated with a CS degree, what companies you worked etc... All things which do not guarantee merit.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoMerit at high pressure performance, not being a good developer.
- strikelaserclaw 7y agoit is not a perfect system but nobody can really predict a good developer till someone is already on the job. A good developer is more than algo skills, he/she also has good communication, works well with others etc... These are not things we can test yet. The problem with our profession is since it is lucrative and has no real licensing, it is a perfect breeding ground for fakers.
