I got itchy to build the tetris game in php and see how fast we it can turn out and specially the line clearning and the algos used, how can this be better? I am not a fluent PHP developer I used PHP mainly from high-school and recently been building apps using Laravel for clients (I am a experienced dev though)
So feel free to roast it.
A pair programming session on a home assignment (it was a Java banking app) with 2–3 bugs and missing features. This allows the interviewer to see the candidate’s problem-solving skills and how quickly they can find, fix, and add features.
A take-home assignment with a static JSON file containing products, where the developer is asked to build both a front end and a back end around it. This lets you assess their systems thinking — do they overcomplicate things, chase the latest tech, or make wise, pragmatic decisions? During the interview, you can also expand the scope of the assignment, e.g., What if this needs to be production-ready? What would you add?
Anything else usually ends up being a waste of time for both the interviewer and the developer.I’ve done over 100 of these in the last 10 years.
nothing falls my mind i can just add #note #<project> #idea or whatever consistent tagging or subnotes i can do the todo.txt and it'd be easier to even feed it to chatgpt/or what everllm to even remind of my most important ones in the future and send me notification in telegram or something.
