Is this really so hard that it sets the bar higher to the point that it really works as a filter?

- vandahm 15y agoI know software developers who wouldn't be able to figure it out.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoSadly "yes". That said, it's not "so hard" in absolute terms, but that is precisely why it works so well as a zero'th order filter. You wouldn't want to hire based on passing that, but you certainly want to NOT hire based on failing. (Depending on what you're hiring for, of course; I can't see not taking a sales guy to do sales if he couldn't do it.)
- neurotech1 15y agoActually if there business is cloud services, and APIs, then it might be a good idea NOT to hire a sales guy if they can't understand the basics.
- angstrom 15y agoThat was my thought. I curl requests like this all the time. This is like a tire obstacle course, not a high jump bar.
