Interesting idea, thank you for that Franz, really!

It all comes down to face-to-face and technical interview, yes. When I actually see how you speak about and work with things you claim to know.

While I understand your point about confidence and would not penalize someone for putting progress bars in their CV, it brings exactly zero information to me no matter what.

I'm recruiting people for the way they think and behave way more than for the experience. If I'm going to ask technical questions, I usually let the candidate choose the language for the task.
