I would decline to move forward in your process. I'm not here for banal, performative nonsense. Unless you're hiring entry level, an interview isn't a CS201 exam. I'm here for you to sell me on your team, culture, and technology choices. That question shows me that your company culture values performative pageantry versus discussing what I can add as a member of the team. Hard pass.
- pklausler 5y agoI like to work with engineers who don't write buggy code. Do you? How do you avoid hiring them? Experienced engineers know that this is a hard problem and don't mind demonstrating basic competence. If you don't ask me to code, it's a hard pass from me -- your team has no filter.
- andrew_ 5y ago> I like to work with engineers who don't write buggy code. I'm not sure if this is one of the most arrogant statements about engineering I've seen, or if you've found a treasure trove of demigods who never write code with bugs. If the latter, please have them fix the world posthaste.
