Not to super rag on this person, but wow some of the other articles on their website...
They have an article on "cracking the hackerrank test" that straight up advocates for cheating on screeners companies are starting to do through hackerrank. I'm not about to claim that these tests are at all good at measuring your skill as a developer, but I would much rather a candidate engages with the process honestly than openly brags about cheating.
I didn’t see that one. If I saw someone publicly describe being dishonest in an interview process, I think I’d have to rule them out by default.
I know not everyone is perfectly honest all the time. But if you advertise cheating a process meant to reveal rather than conceal information, there’s a real problem.
