> To him, submitting a long design doc where you go "I am going to use Galactor. I will make sure the project is florp-ready. I will fleem." is the exact opposite of cool.
Am I supposed to guess this much?
Do they expect me to creep on their social media to figure this out or something?
Finally, I made it abundantly clear that I am uncool, so giving me the "go ahead", simply to satisfy their curiosity... I hope they are treated the same as they treat other people.
No ill will against you, if anything you are giving me a plausible explanation where I have none. I just wish I had come across a post like mine earlier, and I hope that we, as a collective, start categorizing any job with a "take-home" as a job for the "cool kids". That way, all of us boring and experienced engineers may force companies to adapt if they actually want our labor. And those that do not adapt, we can infer the type of company that "offers" the role.
