This 'source' should be taken down.

This is a propaganda website - here are the top three current stories:

- http://newobserveronline.com/nonwhite-invader-caravan-storms...

- http://newobserveronline.com/indian-british-high-court-judge...

- http://newobserveronline.com/adl-booted-from-starbucks-racis...

Hacker News should be above supporting white nationalism and hate, especially so when doing so supports its preconceptions.

Gross.

I skimmed the article but didn't see it go into details about the testing environment. Are they essentially conducting a technical interview? Whiteboard coding plus the machine learning meme?

Because I'm not sure that the numbers in many other countries would be much better. Haven't we all pretty much reached the conclusion that these types of tests are very ineffective at gauging or assessing technical talent?

To be fair 23 out of 25 programmers we interviewed recently in Italy couldn’t solve correctly the foo bar challenge.

And 100% was completely lost on “easy but require crytical thinking” questions, like what is the value of this in a script tag.
