And that's the other reason I never do online tests. I don't know what the company and for example CodePad will do with the data collected from me. Will they store, sell and/or share it? Will CodePad reuse collected data in any way if I do an interview for another company? Etc..

I never do online tests, like with CoderPad. Why? The tests are flawed and subjective. I can give any interviewer 1 assignment that will make him/her fail miserably. Should I not do that first to see if the lead/manager is competent? Of course not! We are stupid applicants/beggars! We are not allowed to test our superiors for competence!

I cannot imagine the author of CoderPad would be happy to be in the position of an applicant again having to do such a stupid test. He is only happy because he now makes so much money of that process and never have to be an applicant again. Well done, we less lucky devs are f* anyways.

That sounds like a red flag to me. I hardly have any type related bugs in my pure JS server code. Must be a poor developer in the team. Too easy to blame JS for that.

Just awesome to see this in open source. Can't wait to learn from the source.

Simply using open-source projects is definitely a way to say thank you. I have several projects on github and I am very grateful for developers trusting and using my code. It says much more than a 'thumps up'.

Indeed, for the fools that store their bitcoins in a wallet on services like Coinbase. You only need to save your private key in a save place to have the storage for free.
