Did they, though? From my reading of it, it seems like they wanted a minimal terminal inspired client akin to mutt with a fake backend and plain text.
- josecodea 1y agoI know "minimal terminal email client in golang" sounds like a small feat, but it is not simpler than a webapp, it would be about equivalent, at least. TUI libraries are more of a PITA than HTML. Also you gotta learn the entire API of a specific TUI library to make it work, this learning will never be useful to you again. With HTML at least you know it is a standard. And remember, they told me: > We always have a lot of candidates, some they do the basic, some provide a lot of extra features [...] From hiring point of view, we prefer stronger assessments. and the instructions mention: > Do the project in a way that shows off your skills as a developer The instructions also mention "web app" as a valid solution, literally. So why should I conclude that making the minimal effort would give me a better chance as an applicant? There is simply no rhyme or reason to the entire process and communication from the company.
