Oh come now that’s just silly! I’ve interviewed 8 web devs over the last two weeks, each with years of experience, each asking $115k+, and more than one couldn’t figure out how to take an array of objects each with a ‘category’ property and output an array with the unique values of ‘category’. (this is one line of code) Only one could successfully wire up a <select> populated with the list of unique categories and then filter the original list based on the selected category. By the way, these interviews were done over Zoom with screen sharing with the candidate able to use their own dev environment and browser of their choice. The interviews were allotted one hour and all candidates took longer than the scheduled time. It’s been beyond depressing. I’m ready to just start asking for FizzBuzz again.
