| Jun 14, 2014 at 4:34 | comment | added | Gabe | You're completely right; I'm just saying that under any circumstances the interviewer should expect to provide whatever environment that is needed to complete the given task. | |
| Jun 13, 2014 at 21:34 | comment | added | Arseni Mourzenko | @Gabe: good example. But in this example, it's also obvious for the candidates that you're not looking for a cheap workforce to implement a feature in your new product, and that the criteria is not so complicated that it would take eight hours to obtain a solution. | |
| Jun 13, 2014 at 18:24 | comment | added | Gabe | It's completely legitimate to have a problem like, "Given these EF classes, write a query that returns some complicated criteria and display the results in a form". I can't imagine asking the interviewee to create that kind of environment themselves rather than just give them an existing VM with everything all set up. | |

Plus if it's that bad they will drive away the developers who are capable of sorting out a steaming pile of WTF and have to hire the ones who will make it worse... | |
