My last 'coding interview' consisted of a debugging a broken live VM, with a Java app waiting at the end of the rainbow.

The job was for working on bare metal provisioning using yaml and Python, but I could 'use your favorite programming language'.

Before you think this was some third-rate body snatcher, it's a more well-known name that you've heard of.

They still ghosted me, after telling me what an 'amazing' job I did.

Sounds awful. I'd be interested to know what startup it was. But it's no secret that some of the well-known names do tend to drop the ball on hiring and various other aspects of operations.
