I know this may sound like an weird question, but I recently applied to work as Elixir Developer for two different companies and they shared an Elixir Coding Challenge with me. Both challenges were quite good to solve and I really liked them.
My Feedback on both was “great”, but they found a “bug” and because of that they decided not to move forward at this time.. I am wondering if there’s a project in production completely free of bugs.. Is it normal to request challenges 100% free of bugs in Elixir?
I think companies are requesting too much of us developers. We need to know about databases, system design, scalability, algorithms, data structures, Apis, GraphQL, be able to get over Codility / Coderbyte, Technical Interviews, Coding Challenge, understand about Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence, Elixir, Ruby and sometimes Node.JS JavaScript, React, Mobile applications and last but not least, We need to have good soft skills.
What is happening in our area? Companies think developers are robots or gods..
What is your opinion about this?
