A past employer of mine used to have one of these. It was a true work of art: around two dozen lines of code with something to discuss in EVERY SINGLE LINE, ranging from dumb syntax errors to logic errors to problems of overall design. Made for some great conversations.
- skeeter2020 5y agoThe problem I see is that it probably looks really dense and complex the first time a candidate sees it. This is not a great way to start the interview. To me it comes across like "find Waldo in the next 30 seconds. Also there's a bunch of other characters hidden in there. Go!" We all know what we're looking for (kind of) but it's a very stressful approach. It might work better if you paired and wrote this crazy code, and looked to them to identify issues as you built it up.
