Why would you ask someone to do something absolutely trivial?
- lifeisstillgood 5y agoWhy is it trivial to take a unfamiliar code base and dive into it, hunting down calls, working through the stack to understand what / how a particular function works. This is a hugely important part of familiarising oneself with a codebase - it leads to many useful discussions. Who should you talk to if there is problem in a function halfway down. If I want to add a parameter to the top function, what might have to change down the stack? I am not sure why thats trivial
- lodovic 5y agoYou could see it as a modern FizzBuzz. Many candidates will fail at such a triviality.
