I maybe like this candidate - the "company" failed the test and the candidate moved on. :-)

The company absolutely failed the test. If they're not using industry standard tools then it's a sign they don't take the role seriously. That would be a huge red flag to me.

It's like applying to be developer and being told to use Microsoft FrontPage. It's doable, but raises serious questions about the professionalism of the organisation.

“Industry standard tools” can be translated as I’ve been captured and/or a paid shill.

[mattkevan]

That’s an insane take.

Truth is stranger than fiction, especially 2026+. Lock-in is powerful and you dove in head first.
