thdespouon Ask HN: I have 10 yrs of Exp. Failed 4 takehome projects. What am I doing wrong?

From your documentation: ----- Self Criticism or things I would've done if I had more time. testing: -----

That first part over there blew up your whole effort. No matter how good as an engineer you are, if you don't provide any unit tests, most often it's an automatic rejection.

Also why did you put that self-criticism section anyway? You don't owe them anything nor should they owe you as well.

As a final thought when you are doing the effort to apply to work for someone else then they can reject you for pretty much anything so don't sweat it too much.

thdespouon Ask HN: Resource to learn how to train and use ML Models
