There is nothing wrong with it. I mean there are probably a few dozen others things he could have used. But if my requirements did not mention quant and poetry, while I know that I could get this to work with only docker-compose, I’d fail this take home and move to another applicant who followed the requirements and carried out the process I’m familiar with. Yes sure… he sure he shows that he knows that other tools as well… cool, but what if this was a well defined sprint ticket instead and he came back being off requirements, not matching up with the process? I’m sure there must have been other applications who didn’t diverge at all… delivered me only a working docker-compose, perfect. I’d prefer moving forward with those instead.
