Quite possibly. I've worked mainly in languages where undefined functions kill the compile, and division by zero is a runtime error. Perhaps JavaScript just facilitates sloppy coding practices? Many other languages don't. Perhaps you're the one with the skewed perspective!

Wow, congrats on insulting people who use a different programming language than you. You really give an air of professionalism in your speeches.

But its the lack of communication on your front that would make people fail your test, not their lack of competence.

Anyone can summon an obscure puzzle and claim its easy when they know the key.

isn't this a bit reductive?

I posted a detailed exposition of my own approach to interviewing. I expected nothing more than some intelligent comments thereon.

In response, someone says I'm "prejudiced", and why would he "give a fuck" about my concerns; another says my concerns exist "in a parallel universe"; and another says my views are "religious"!

Equeeze me if I don't take well to copping random insults in what is meant to be an intelligent discussion forum. Particularly from people who've contributed zero to the discussion so far - like you! I suggest you get out of the basement and get some exercise. Maybe ask your mum for a bike?
