I recently did not get a job I was a really good fit for and they were kind enough to send me some feedback as part of the rejection letter.

Reading them made me realise that if they just asked to clarify some of those points I would’ve easily explained them, which is something that still stings when I think about it.

Having interviewed people in the past I really feel like this is an amazing tool: not only is a great way to see how people react to feedback but also a way to understand more about a candidate especially if they are anxious or shy. Thanks for sharing

I had a business account that got banned due to inactivity. I make apps and I often update them ota, long story short the account it took ages to verify via DUNS and the phone number requirements got nuked. Can’t even reopen it, had to create a new one with a new email, no human to speak to, a nightmare due to the same duns number being on both accounts. Plus the recent forced 14 days of app testing. It’s comically bad, when I compare it to iOS it almost feels intentionally antagonistic to devs. Android has always been challenging (fragmented phone os mainly) but now has gotten to the point of not even being worth spending time there, especially since iOS tends to convert dramatically better

Am I risking any trouble if I were to open source this test? Based on this writeup?

Yes, I take your point, we actually ended with a center space for caption plus more space at the bottom for a secondary caption. To make a perfect square, yes, you would need it off-center.

It can be configured, by default there is a gap in the middle (35 cells) to write a caption. If you want a full square, 365 will never work. But each parameter is configurable and you either end up with a different aspect ratio or more gaps to write captions.
