Come to France, companies hate remote work. You have to negotiate pretty hard to work remotely 2/5 days a week

I was in the same situation. I simply asked if I could use intelliJ instead and then copy-paste everything in google doc at the end. The interviewer was ok with that.

> We need cars to go electric, etc.

Marketing is once again far from the truth, check how co2 expensive producing a battery is. Then couple that with the fact that you need let's say 20 years of normal use of a car to "paybacck" that co2 footprint (comparing to an oil car).

Last one is : are you going to keep that same electric car for 20 years?

It kind of depends, not every task are the same. you won't review a trivial change the same way as a brand new feature.

Let's take for instance the fictional case of adding a list of website to a whitelist.txt. Maybe the source file had thousands of websites to be added. Anyone could add or remove some in the middle and no one would ever know

It looks good when you review it. but there is no way to check the data integrity (at review time), you can only rely on the good faith of your coworkers.

I am not saying that's what happened but this is a good example of how anyone could sneak-in arbitrary code that pass the code review.
