Take Home Programming Interviews Suck (georgemauer.net)

It all sucks! All-day in-person interview loops suck! Writing code on a whiteboard sucks, coding on a laptop with an audience sucks. All of this stuff has its own biases. Trying to get hired for a tech job sucks. Period.


I dont think theyre equally as bad. Its too tempting to try and go above and beyond for a take home coding challenge, end up spending days on it, and get zero feedback. I would much prefer an onsite or strictly timed test than a loose deadline homework problem
