I don't doubt C programmers' ability to understand or use webpack (it's tedious, annoying, and often hard to debug, but not conceptually difficult - definitely easier than day-to-day problems solved by C programmers), the question is this the best use of their time & the most cost efficient way to do it (and IMHO the answer for both is that it's clearly not). It looks like we directionally agree.

Just to check again, that line is about webpack, right? Not C programs?

They interview for your company already, so they know what type of job you do. Unless they’re idiot.
