Dumbest interview coding test?
Week 135 Group Rant

Small test at school testing our knowledge of javascript and the p5js library.

One of the aims was to make a small rectangle slowly move across.

I lost one mark because I didn't define a y variable for the rectangle, even though the y never changes.

*sigh*

    Always make things configurable if it's not way to much work doing a bit more work now will avoid more work in a few weeks when they suddenly want the y axis movement to. You will have to reread that code to see how to do it.

    Avoid magic numbers at all cost
    Store them centrally, maybe a static class or some ConfigHelper if you language provides one
