The best coding interview task I’ve ever seen was from “x-team” people - when I applied I was automatically sent a zip with a generated coding challenge consisting of a small express app that needed some bugfixes, some really obvious, some not so much and some subtle ones. After I finished I had some tests to tell me how well I’ve done and some hashes generated to prove I’ve actually done what needed doing.
It was amazing - no contact with the people required, they know upfront that I am able to code “something” and we can now continue the interview in a more traditional setting.
There was _some_ time pressure but nothing scary, and I could use my own hardware and software to solve the problem. Awesome. Only thing missing as a signal for them was for teamwork, but it nailed the coding part for me.
