Do you have any sort of evidence to support this claim? As far as I can tell I've never had an interviewer reject me for coming up with a solution other than the one they wanted. At worst I've had people strongly nudge me in the direction they wanted me to go. I'm certainly willing to believe that terrible interviewers are out there, but I have trouble believing that I've hit the 1% every time.
- innocentoldguy 12y agoI have. I once had an interviewer ask me to write CSS code that generated an American flag. I used the nth-child selector to render 13 alternating red and white stripes. The guy asked me why I did that instead of making the background white and painting red stripes over the top of it. I didn't get the job and the reason the recruiter told me I was rejected was because my CSS code was wrong.
