In the light of recent topics about interviews, I do think this website can be a positive effort towards the right direction. A lot of the challenges here is really close to what we do as developers.

I like your thinking around the trust issue. It's a totally different matter between hiring new grads, and non new-grades. cspa.io seems only to target new-grads. But as you said, it's replacing one degree system with another simi

I was hired by these big company before. I don't consider them good. I just know how it works. Probably don't want to go through this process again, unless there's some amazingly good opportunities there.

I'm surprised how much people hate take-home projects. Companies must've done this very wrong to piss so many of us :) My take on the comments: - We know whiteboarding and algorithms are bad. - Take home assignment is better, but

What they do doesn't make sense at all! The company chose to spend a lot of time evaluating all these take home projects, in the first step, and then reject people for silly reason afterwards? It's a lose-lose situation. Sounds li

I think this is all about trade off. I do agree with your point 1,2,3, rule-based is better in some cases, but it's not as expressive, sometimes you have to express the logic in a non-straightforward way to satisfy your need, when the

That's a very good question. It depends on your usecase. You can certainly do it in a more straightforward way, just design the language and write an "interpreter" to execute the language. But if performance matters, you&#x27
