That's not being fair. That's your own problem. I'm also a self-taught programmer, but I don't feel like I need to compare myself to her.

The point is that she didn't fit the requirements of the job.

As a result, she did not get the job. That's pretty much end of story. If the job requires her to be "experienced with JS", that means that they want her to know the language.

And it's not just modulo. She didn't know how to convert a timecode string to seconds.

I have no idea how someone like that would be able to understand the code. Nor why she would think that "it's okay" not knowing those things and yet be an engineer at their company.

To repeat what has been said - she was not applying to a job as a designer. She was applying to a job as an engineer and designer. She didn't meet at least half the criteria (and she didn't have degrees, which is probably why they even asked her those questions to test what actual knowledge she has).

>and descriptions that are not representative of the job they're trying to hire for.

The position is described as a UX engineer and designer, and the applicant is expected to be experienced with JS and various frameworks for it.

The story seems to be more about a person who can't read and feels entitled to a job position they're not fit for. They were unable to display knowledge of basic for loops and conditionals and they were unable to convert a timecode string into seconds. Both of which are basically tests for "does this person even understand programming". Which they obviously don't because they wrote "OMG MATH" to a problem consisting only of the most basic logical concepts.

Maybe next time they should apply for a job that doesn't require programming knowledge.
