Low-code is not a cure for overworked IT departments

Imagine you had an automated oracle who could tell you how many out of three easy-level leetcode problems a candidate could solve in 90 minutes total.

Would that piece of information be helpful to you as you consider which candidates to invite to the first round of interviews? That is why companies do it.

A candidate who got 2 or 3 solved in 90 minutes is very likely to do much better on the rest of the interview and on the job than someone who couldn't solve any.

(I think a lot of people who can write code have a difficult time imagining just how many people both can't write code and apply for seemingly every posted SWE job listing.)

Haha. Hiring people is a job in and of itself. It needs a good eye for detail and intuition.

People are weird. Some days they write great code and hardly any serious bugs. Other days they need to look up a for-loop on MDN.
