I think the reason that bothered me was, that this was after a take-home tech test, a long interview, and 2 other questions that were similar.
But really, the fact you should never write one should be very basic and fundamental knowledge. Quite simply it should be an automatic no if someone didn't know they shouldn't write that themselves. They were literally testing people on things they don't do. Which means everyone I would be working with wasn't tested on their ability to do their job.
- sfink 2y agoYeah, that's fair, and I'm guessing your decision made a lot of sense in that context. Though in an interview situation, it's reasonable to not point out that you shouldn't ever do the thing that you're being asked to do. Some amount of artificiality is to be expected. I do agree that stating that one should never do it is a purely good sign. It's just that not stating it isn't necessarily a bad sign.
