- PNewling 1y agoSome certifications I’ve taken make you do a full room scan, including using a mirror to see the computer itself if you’re using a laptop, to ensure there is nothing you could cheat with. Normally a human reviews it before they open the test for you. In addition they have you install a browser extension that fails a check if there is more than one monitor along with a host of other items. These are obviously extreme measures, but it is possible to try and enforce enhanced levels of proctoring. And I’m not saying I like the idea of doing this for all coding interviews, just that I guarantee people would go through with this if it meant a chance to get into big tech.
- plasticchris 1y agoThat is extreme, I don’t think I would accept installing a browser extension with full access for a job interview. It trips my scam detector too hard. I guess if I wanted the job badly enough I’d spin up a vm for it.
- abdullahkhalids 1y agoCopying text from another screen looks very different from coming up with a solution live. Lots of breaks, erasing, rewritings are all missing when copying.
- oliwarner 1y agoOccasions where I've written a meaningful amount of code, linearly and not refactored it a dozen times are probably in single digits in a 25 year career. Nobody gets it right first time, every time. You could ask it to write you bad code and refactor a few times. But, honestly, manually copying that code over and over again is probably educational gold.
