- me_me_mu_mu 5y agoWell, you can also get rejected doing a few brain teasers in a row. Sometimes I even feel dumber at the end because I didn't "see the twist" or whatever. I've done a few of those take homes, and none of them ever really took me more than an hour (and were accepted). I have 50+ side projects using a few standard templates I've made for myself, so I can knock these out really fast and just show what I can build
