Take-homes suck on both sides nowadays - if you're the interviewer, how do you know they didn't just plug it into chatGPT and spend the rest of the afternoon studying the solution?
I just don't know what a better proxy of coding ability even is, when we exclude options that can't be gamed/cheated.
What’s wrong with it if they studied the codeGPT solution well enough to explain it, answer the questions about corner cases and suggest improvements? Won’t it be a good indicator of the candidates skills? ChatGPT is one of the daily tools nowadays, we should not ban it, but the one using it should be able to understand and explain the code, and his logic, and explain how he architected the solution and how the LlM assisted him, and where it worked well and where not so good.
It's the first time I've encountered where the entire protocol is just blocked. Worth checking what is blocked and how before deciding which VPN provider to use.
