This is why I have a policy of not doing any take-home tests, exactly to discourage this kind of bullshit and force the company to incur a cost (if they want to "test" me they need to sacrifice an hour of their own dev's time for an in-person/screenshare test) so they can't just "spray and pray" the test to everyone that comes by.
- bluGill 4y agoI'll do the take home tests if I find them interesting. Interesting to me is important. Last time I did one I found a recursive (not tail recessive) solution to a problem that I already knew was a simple iteration using a couple standard library functions - but where is the fun in that? I learned a lot and didn't care that I didn't get the job. (I did earn a call back, which is great considering at the time I didn't qualify for the advanced position they were hiring for)
