The way the author writes and answers questions in the comments shows he does actually see it as a test.
> Note that since our technical discussion is a conversation. I don’t expect a perfect answer from anyone. If I hear some right keywords, I know that the candidate knows the concept, and I try to push them in the right direction
I.e. if you don't know the concept you don't pass.
And in a comment:
> I would much rather hire an all-rounder with deep knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS rather than a particular framework. This “Twitter source code” test demonstrates just that.
He literally calls it a test.
Also, I'm not saying Seniors are lone wolfs. I'm saying that they should be able to work autonomously (I.e. without supervision). I'm not prescribing what that work entails.
