The thing you’re perhaps running into is that plenty of people, supposedly very qualified folks, can talk at a high level but can’t actually do the job — can’t even string a handful of lines of code together.

That’s definitely not me. I can run circles around most in backend, front end and even devops. My issue is with interview formats that are not conducive to my special needs and not representative of my true skills. Most tests are very neurotypically centered. Give me a take home test and I’ll blow your mind.

I even had a YC “mental health” company refuse to consider and accommodate my request for a different technical interview format because of my ASD/ADHD..
