For context, for my first job as a developer the take home assignment I got was creating a web app that logged realtime CPU usage and created a graph of that CPU usage that was updated in real time.
And this all had to be done using a specific language, web framework, and database that I had never used before.
That's at worst a 4 hour job to do with a beer over the weekend. You sound incredibly incompetent if you can't tell the difference in difficulty between that and that they asked OP to do.
That assignment is 1/128th the work of point 1) from OP.
In understanding the question.
At any rate, you still haven't replied to my job offer. I need you to do two weeks of free work for me.
You sound like the type of engineer I get hired to replace at three times the rate when the project is on fire because they didn't understand the spec.
