rotor posted:it kind of is bullshit but also i sorta went to bat for the dude do you think more time would have given you the insight to avoid the situation or endeared you more to them? i'm genuinely curious. i've never felt anything but extreme fatigue and a parched throat after a long session as a candidate. like even the act of making it two 45 minutes sessions would probably work better for me.

fizzbuzz for clowns: start with a car and 25 developers, they all get in the car 1 by 1. every time the number of developers in the car is divisible by 3 the computer will spray the user with fizzy seltzer water from a flower in its lapel. every time the number is divisible by 5 it activates the users hand buzzer. if it is divisible by both 3 and 5 then the user gets a custard pie in the face.

Doom Mathematic posted:So when they say "spend 2 to 3 hours on this take-home project" how many hours are most people actually spending on it? I just double it. 2-3 means 5-6 imo. I would much rather do a few live coding rounds as at least every candidate has the same time.

points are the dumbest poo poo and they get in the way so much. I just tell my team that 1 point is one hour.

"ok, we could either just make sure everyone recognizes that programmers arent programming 8 hours a day OR!!! hear me out ... OR!! we could come up with this elaborate shitshow where we have programmer time estimates tied to multiples of a single base task that no one ever remembers! And we can use fibonacci numbers to distract the nerds from the fact that we're asking them to do all this extra work so management can simply continue to not understand things!"

a point rating is supposed to represent the time and difficulty and complexity of a task but it is not in itself a measurement of the time or difficulty or complexity of a task, what is so hard to understand?
