Hello and thanks for spending some time pairing with me! This exercise is an opportunity for us to try out working together and hopefully have some fun writing code!
- This exercise is open ended and collaborative. There are no set goals or evaluation metrics.
- We have 60 minutes together, and as that is not a lot of time, we should spend it wisely and make sure we make the most of it.
- It's best to use the candidate's (your) machine, in their most comfortable environment/IDE, while sharing screen.
- It's recommended to use the language/framework you are most familiar with, and choose a task that would be best in this language/framework (it's not the day for trying a new language :) )
- Bonus points if you run
rails new/npm install/composer create-project/etc beforehand so that we can get started a bit faster
Here's some ideas, keep in mind that, obviously, we will not reach anything close to feature parity with some examples. We are simply aiming at the most basic functionality, with ruthless prioritization.
- Build a Twitter clone
- Build a micro Blog
- Build a mini radio station
- Build a URL shortener
- Build a Messageboard
- Build a mini web framework
- Do a coding kata
- ?? you decide! The only limit is your mind!
