When talking in a Rant I realized that error messages are a quite good indicator if someone actually has SOME experience.

So, i made the error tests https://static.molodetz.nl/error-qu...

They should do this for interviews. There are a few questions that are really not accepted to do wrong, would not hire on INSTANT if that was the case :P Errors with a stacktrace contaiing the language extension :P If someone just says "I don't know go (the existance of it)" i doubt so extremely hard about that person :P

    This doesn't really test anything except exposure to error messages. A lot of these you can guess by context. Like the borrow errors. Pretty much always Rust. I have never used Rust.

    Most of the advanced ones seem to contain the name of the language or the usual file extension, and most of the rust ones are about borrowing although that's probably realistic.

    Yah, the errors have 4 levels of complexity. The ones with the stack trace are the easiest ofcourse. But that's what i mean, if someone fails a question like that :P Whoops.

    @netikras would not be that surprised. Even when it's fun, AI is not allowed. But without AI a lot of things wouldn't exist. That's also sad. Did you do the quiz? Some questions seem stupid, but that is on purpose, it has four levels of complexity.

    Not important at all to remember the syntax of error messages.

    Things that don't exist can't be sad.

    @afaIk If you know enough, you at least know what the candidate touched.

    Even I know about Go... has some sort of an animal as its mascot... or perhaps that was the IDE, can't remember for the moment.
