That's interesting. My expectation was that, if I did a four-hour assignment, they were going to spend 5 minutes evaluating it.
I wonder if you are typical, or if typical is closer to my 5 minute impression?

50% that I’m terrified of bad hires, 50% I recognize the opportunity and gravity from their side so try to respect that.
I give you a lot of credit for doing this. When I was still in development, I had a pretty robust github page, a sizable portfolio of stuff I had built and other side projects I was working on with various other platforms like Salesforce.
Not once did an interviewer review any of that. I would find myself referring to my github page several times over during the interview. I got so frustrated with interviewers asking me how to do simple things in interviews, I finally walked out of several and told them if they had just taken five minutes and looked at any of my github projects, they would've saved themselves a lot of time asking stupid questions about basic stuff.
idk, I really can't imagine hiring someone that not only had such a github profile, but saw fit to send it to the interviewer
look for repos that aren't forked, especially one that doesn't have all or most of its code committed in a single commit (i.e. forked with extra steps)
