This is why I said you'd have to squint really hard to find something like this. You're clearly moving the goalposts here. I didn't ask about just a working solution, which could be almost anything. Even just something as

There are however people who can fairly easily write graph traversal and recursive code on a whiteboard. I wouldn't mind someone not knowing Dijkstra's well enough to code it from memory, but I'd be leery of someone who stru

They probably assume if you know programming, Ruby, and everything else you should be fine with Rails. Quizzing people about minutia that can be easily Googled doesn't really sound like a great way to find apt candidates.

Managers always seem quick-witted enough to come up with justifications for anything, sometimes even preemptively declaring they don't want to hear about subject X. So why would I point out obvious things? And why not ask the other d
