I'm not sure why everyone here is so focused on the word "triggered". Some kind of an obsession? Yes, it's in the quoted tweet, but I haven't used it anywhere and you're responding to my comments. And then, in a typical HN fashion, you're totally missing the point. The point here is that Shopify is rejecting people whose code it uses in production every day on a basis that they can't code. It's not necessarily about whether it's triggering or not. For me, personally, I wouldn't say it's triggering, I just can't think straight in such situations. But again, that's besides the point. And to clarify. I'm not also saying that they should hire everyone that ever contributed to Rails or any other Ruby code they use. I'm all for interviews and checking if the candidate is a good fit. But it's silly to do a coding test which people that clearly know how to code fail. Like, check the work of other people in the quoted tweets who say they fail these kind of coding challenges: Piotr Solnica and Ryan Bigg. I guess maybe it's fine for you to reject people like them cause they apparently can't code, but I'd argue it's bad for business.
