Great devs never apply for any job using the traditional job application (except maybe as an after-the-fact HR formality); they are always recommended and hand picked by their network.

As a intermediate (after so many years, should I just replace that with 'mediocre') dev I think a test like this would be a fantastic way both for a company to judge me and for me to judge what a company would expect from me.

There's a huge variety in dev roles ranging from challenging to code monkey and it's sometimes hard to figure out from a job posting or even conventional conversational interview where along the spectrum the expectations are, but establishing those expectations on both sides is critical.




That isn't true for all devs.


I shouldn't have said always and never. .. how about "most of the time"?
