I agree 100%. These tests are always a disadvantage to developers that have years of experience behind them. Unless you are a super nerd you don't read the entire technical documentation which is what you have to do in order to pass a randomly generated set of questions on an entire framework.
When I got my contract over a 25+ year career I was interviewed by experienced managers and colleagues that asked questions that mattered. The type of questions focused on the day to day details of the job. Not on syntax. Syntax is bullshit. One computer language out of the 25 or more we have to work with now on the average.
This is a clear attempt to purge experienced developers from the work place and supplant them with continuous inexperienced and cheaper workers. You didn't score high on the test therefore you are not worth what you built up over your career. The only people that support these tests are the people that want to exploit and cheapen the industry or who have made money as gatekeeper opportunists create and entire business based on testing and convincing business owners its a smart thing to do.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
