Coding assignments for a new role

[eek]

Me too and it has paid off handsomely.

There is many a computer science graduate who can't break into the industry because they have done zero programming outside of their degree course.

Not surprising - I want to see what you can do / have done rather than worthless immediately outdated theory

I remember David Couthard saying he’d drive a formula 1 car for free, but was paid millions for all the politics, media interviews and other stuff he had to put up with. I kinda feel the same about development, I love coding and do it in my spare time, really enjoy that side of the work, but get paid for putting up with all the other aspects of the contract. I’ve done the odd coding challenge for interviews and enjoyed them, but do feel it’s taking the p!ss a bit if it’s more than a few hours (often feels like free consultancy).
