@icanzilb really is a shame these kinds of questions are still used. Even if you did use these things every day, there are such better ways to evaluate candidates.

@icanzilb I have done a lot of interview training for these kinds of things, and I would be happy to help if you want!

@icanzilb My favourite is coding to output the Fibonacci sequence 😛 The last time it came up, I refused to do it — well, not in a nasty way but I did tell them that I had never needed to do that ever for work and while I knew of two different ways to do it (vaguely) that I wasn’t going to do it since it made no sense …

They still wanted to hire me 😀

@icanzilb @f absolutely agree. Also I “like” the task to convert number in Roman number. Why? Why the hell you need this? All of this tech coding sessions just waste of time.

@icanzilb @f that’s explains a lot definitely

@f @icanzilb I have a clue here. Currently I’m working on my side project GPT assistant for Sublime Text editor. And after any code change this, the fib seq is the first and the only thing that I’m asking it to print me, to get to know whether I broke smth or not. Soooo, maybe there was some kind of bot/human check?

@icanzilb pretty confident I’d bomb that

@cwagdev me too :)

@cwagdev man, it's such a bummer I can't freelance from here, we could've be building things together 🤕

@icanzilb yeah it is 😞
