This is possible. But I did do an interview with HR screening and they passed me which gave me access to this takehome. I know I seem a little abrasive in my replies here, but I'm being genuine... a lot of the criticism I'm seeing doesn't make sense or seem overly pedantic to me.
But! there was one huge flaw with my code! like huge. Only one person in this entire thread caught it. This is a rejection level flaw for sure. It may have been it but this thread is making me think it might not be.
What's astonishing is that nobody caught it. Nobody but one guy. This flaw would've gone past all unit tests all type checking and all integration tests. No engineering process would've caught it other then analyzing the code line by line and seeing exactly what each step does.
So it makes me think that if more or less no one on this thread caught it... it's likely that the reviewer didn't catch it either. I'm thinking it's more likely some superficial aspect of the code screwed me over even though this flaw is huge. Like no unit tests or something.
It's not even some obscure flaw either it's very visible. the ZRANK call isn't doing anything. it's an empty command with discarded output... a snippet generated by code from chatgpt which lied to me about what that command does. I tested that code extensively and it worked fine.
This mistake deserves rejection, but like I said, I somehow think that this wasn't what got me rejected.
