Senior Developers Are Getting Rejected for Jobs

From what I gather, what is most shocking of all is that candidate still fail this test, despite it being so common, despite there being an several github repos devoted to it, as well as other pages and articles about it (somewhere out there was a page or a repo or something I encountered that had it written in almost every programming language out there, include whitespace and brainf*ck).

Even when given as a "take home" challenge, they can't even copy-pasta an example off the internet...

make part of the test a reverse question where the interviewers have to work out what language your solution is in

  1:v!`*5*54p2*62*77,*5<
