- dijksterhuis 2y agothis is a good filter. if someone starts careening through the task using brainfuck, they ain’t thinking like a senior dev at day job i.e. simple, clear, easy to follow and maintainable code writing. i don’t care how clever you are. i need to know you’re not going to rewrite the frontend in your first week because of a “big brain” moment [0]. using python or something simple without being told to helps me feel like you won’t do that, and that i might be able to trust you on day 0. expectations on seniors are higher [0]: https://grugbrain.dev/ https://grugbrain.dev/
