me: i’ve single-handedly written software used by tens of millions of people, you can see it right over at github.com/april
prospective employers: sorry, but unfortunately you did poorly in a high-stress 40-minute coding exercise, writing code with no time to think about how to solve a problem you’ve never seen before, in a terrible dev environment, while someone stares at you the whole time
@april that doesn't sound like an environment one would want to work in
@jomo nope it’s entirely unnatural and uncomfortable and doesn’t reflect real development at all and yet it’s a fundamental part of almost every single hiring loop because ???
