> Factorio isn't a game about shooting things. Thank you for providing additional information, but I already had a good idea of what Factorio is; that is how I know I would be addicted if I were to ever try it. I was specifically criticizing the idea that a senior developer should automatically be more proficient than an intern at navigating the UI of a game - even when that game is Factorio. It's seems preposterous to me, even though it's a tiny detail in a larger essay.

> navigating the UI of a game Why does it matter if it's a game? Navigating the UI of GitHub, JIRA, VSCode, etc. are all important. Being able to learn new skills is a good thing to judge people by. Seeing how quickly they pick up tools and apply them to solve problems is a great way to see how good a teammate someone can be. People just get hung-up over the fact that it's a game -- I don't see anyone complaining about the fact that you have to figure out how to use the HackerRank UI during an interview for some reason.
