I didn’t read the twitter blurb in the article where is mentions the test.

I was basing this on the 30 minute live coding session the author talked about.

Yeah that screening is simpler than fizzbuzz. I also think it’s a worthless test and I believe the tweet is extremely misleading.

I’ve been doing this for a long time and if you exclude candidates that fail the most basic resume screen, I would be surprised if 10% failed that test.

If you filter for only senior candidates with verifiable experience, I’d be surprised if more than 1% failed it.

If 75% of the candidates that get through to your coding screen fail that something is extremely wrong with your hiring process.
