BordedDev195811h@TeachMeCode don't worry the LLM is just dumping the same solution that is distributed across the internet millions of times
(remember these are math/compsi questions, so the solution is ~10 lines of code) -
@TeachMeCode Well the first one was so trivial I did it in regex just to mess with them... technically the second one as well but just in a comment
-
@BordedDev cool. Then they reject you “bc u used regex”. Then the next place rejects you bc you didn’t use regex (why u overengineer). This is why I fucking hate these tests, everything has to be done their way

@TeachMeCode Yup, I'm just surprised I wasn't asked "Write a EFFICIENT algorithm <insert random "well-known" math problem>"

Been practising for the codility test, thinking maybe only the first couple training tests are shitty non-programming math/compsi problems written in code. Haven't even done the test yet, and I'm already tempted to message the recruiter back that I'm no longer interested, since if this is how they test their devs I doubt they're getting the best. I'll still do it since it's the weekend, but I guarantee I can get AI to generate the most "efficient" aka the exact and only solution they want.
The first orange flag was the fact that the HR lady didn't know much about recent tech...
