Yes depends on the job, but if it's a stressful environment, you need to train for it. OTJ. That's a management issue, not a coding issue.
Otherwuse these exercises would just paint a broad stroke that handling stress is common & generalized, when in fact it's unique and case by case in most situations.
If code IS supposed to be treated like a language, ya'll are being equivalent to English snobs.
Yes, bad english can be detrimental: starts wars, malpractice, etc... We just take it for granted.
If code is treated like math, then we can talk about absolutes and good code.
But 90% of us talk about it in the language context, hence why we call it a programming language....
Yes, I had that offered too, a 6hr Xp assigment with a selected employee.
But intentionally blew off the 2nd quiz (thus the interview) before starting the assignment due to a family medical emergency (I thought, WTF am I doing, there's more to life!)
Nowadays I find it's either: a. multiple quizzes or HW assigment b. a presentation (that takes 4-8hrs to make anyway). c. and that github was a source of code eval, not anymore! ...cause everyone forks everyone's stuff (that's ok, by design).
A. Swarm did what was necessary with the current state of law. It's in the spirit so I say they get a pass. Safety amongst other spacecraft is separate issue.
B. FCC will try to go overbounds--there's no law stopping them too.
Quid Pro Quo is all I have to say aside from it's exciting there's a DIY spacecraft community!
