Anyone ever come across coding challenges for interviews, where they use conflicting language like. Production ready, keep it simple, don't over engineer and recommend max of two days!

Just had one for a principal backed dev position that wanted a Web frontend, a rest api, csv parsing, orm, web client integration to a third party rest api and the rest api you create should accept an API token! Oh and create documents and supporting images.

Did all of the above in about four days including unit and integration testing and thought right I'll do a nieve approach for the token and just check some hard coded value as a bearer token just to wrap it up and make a note in the todo for OIDC/OAuth given more time.

Rejected :mad:
