And yet, some people argue that you shouldn’t ask a developer to align 3 “if” and 1 “for”!!!

The energy spent arguing that those 4 instructions in a row “are not a mark of someone who can write code” would have better been spent firing them.

Firing people is problematic. I'd be okay with it if the economy wasn't utter trash. It's way better to do the work upfront and prefer false negatives over false positives.

Even better would be if we had a well-respected credential, so both employees and employers can both avoid these long interview loops. I'd much rather get hazed once in a big way than tons of little hazings over a life time.
