I'm searching right now and here is why I'm sucking at interview tests:
1) In my nine years the only times coding speed has mattered is war rooms where I knew the system and interview tests.
2) I just got done selling my skills to you, I'm in a suit, and I've been searching for other jobs all day.
3) I'm trying to impress you that I know my stuff but my confidence is shot from being laid off. -
Depends on the position of course, a starter position doesn't mean that someone is super great at coding but willing to learn.

I hope you are not one of those people who give programmers papers to write their codes on in interviews with no access to Google and claim "they can't write code"

donuts238488yBecause 90% of companies offer interviews to anyone that can speak? I'm pretty sure if you apply for dev role at a tech company, you gotta show u can code before you even get an interview?

Player221328y@billgates you should. But now days if you have something resembling a brain and opposable fucking thumbs then you're a perfect fit

I think a lot of that is if you go through most CS programs they spend so much time on theory and gen EDS that these kids never really code anything. Colleges need to redesign their curriculums.

I swear 90% of people who apply for a dev job couldn't code to save their fucking lives.
Like wtf? You can't apply for a job as a commercial pilot, then turn up and announce you've never flown a plane before, so why is that accepted as being somewhat expected in development?
Fucking hell....

you call yourself a programmer?
