Simply note though that the BList folks did _not_ ask for that.
They posed a specific challenge (look back to the beginning of
the thread,) which challenge was not likley to be code that
anyone would just have laying around.
Andy's notion, which seems to be "submit some code you have
written" is a variation on the actual BList challenge.
Ayup, and the reason why I prefer the "submit your own code" ...
Personally I like the BList approach. I think it cuts closer to
reality. Always IMHO a good thing.
Maybe. But I have a bit of problem with someone posing a "screening
question" that looks a little too much like "free labor".
Gabe's point, that people cheat is true, but Andy will
call them out in the interview.
And it's even really easy to do so. The phone screen is normally good
enough for it. It's one of the few phone screen uses that actually
works. A simple: "What would you have done differently if you had to do
this code over again?" completely demolishes the cheaters.
