I think people who are really into "do the job for an hour" interviews don't understand this. Some skills (particularly programming languages) are just really easy to learn. I learned go in a week for a consulting job. If I had to do an interview in go, I would not have gotten the job.

Then how about you spent the week learning Go and then come interview?
Because there's a big difference between doing a week of unpaid work hoping to get a job and doing a week of paid work after you already have it.
