be creative in any kind of technical assessment

some people think SWE is about "logic". it is, in part, but the "engineering" in software is much more of an art than it is in other branches, like construction

the current sota AI is great at logic and terrible in creativity and actual engineering. if the technical assessment is not designed for you to show your creative engineering side, do it yourself, do more than you were asked, think about what would be relevant to that company in terms of engineering creativity and offer that

that's the best way I know of showing you're a real engineer, not an LLM operator, it's worked well for me in the job search process

good luck!
