Ugh. I just SUCKED in a online 80 minute coding assessment for a new job.

I tried to do part of it in Haskell, which was a bad idea because they really wanted you to use an *array* algorithm, so the *list* solution I put forth just did not scale. (I needed a bit of a sliding window; the list approach was recalculating way too much.)

The other two parts were in React and Spring Boot and while I have used those, it's been a few years. The React problems was particularly difficult; I only got the smallest bit done. The Spring Boot I think I almost had, but I was missing something basic, so the tests weren't finding my perfectly good service.

The "employer" nodes said use whatever resources you want just don't copy in code. But, the proctor tried to lock their tab to fullscreen all the time, which made looking things up harder than it should have been. And, with frameworks that large, I think there are few developers that don't look things up (or consult an "AI") every damn day. Or maybe I just suck.

I doubt I'll hear any more from that employer. Anyone hiring for #Idris work? ;)
