Yeah, although imagine if carpenters were interviewed/judged based on the quality by which they could create hammers and drills from scratch.

But it was a good thing overall. I showed me signs that the company has an elevated degree of not invented here culture, and that they aren’t very clear when requesting/scoping work.

If software engineers are carpenters, the hammers and drills are the programming languages, editors, and IDEs. And sqllite is an off the shelf plank.
