“I skipped haskell & did 3 languages [Java, Ruby, and Clojure]. I spent an hour or two on the Java code. The rest was just for fun.” vs “Just to summarize - the skills you need for DevOps are really pretty different than the skills needed as a developer. (Fortunately I've done both for a long time). It's pretty rare that DevOps positions gets coding test [sic], since one generally doesn't write code as part of the job (one does write scripts, and things like chef 'recipes’ for example). That's why I answered it in 'bash' - it's the lingua franca of DevOps. So if you're measuring the potential quality of DevOps guys using the measuring stick for developers, you're likely to run into a disconnect.”
