Would absolutely love to dig into a programming ability test with an assessment/test design psychologist sometime fwiw. I have been long considering writing about it and have my own thoughts but it would be really really neat to think about this with a psychometrician

This is a harsh take, but one I have put many years of thought into: I believe psychology as a field has failed technologists in a lot of ways by not better integrating this massively important part of the world into our research, and "technical assessment" is a HUGE way this shows up
