Debugging? If you could write to disk and suddenly can't.. you are out of diskspace.

If you can't tab complete you are out of diskspace.

Migrating for additional storage? Why not add additional storage..

I doubt you could write unmaintainable insecure php code. I'm positive you could write error prone garbage in any language.

To hire back young people on contract would cost more than the entry level salaries they hold.

As a child in the late 80s it was the three r's. Then the bluebox program became the focus.

If they didn't receive those high salaries they wouldn't be able to take those personal trips. The more employees the higher the multiplier. So what are we exactly offsetting.

Amazon doesn't belong on the list because it's a limited trial one year. Plus if you go over the limits you are charged.

You can game some free resources over the trial period if you are careful. Not the best for set and forget.

No I have an older relative who creates a new account every other week for whatever reason.

Think of how many accounts are created for games reasons. Some games require friends taking action to progress. Some allow friends to send prizes like lives/money/resource.

Are you sure? I mean the 10 years of success spent over various companies projects on resumes have a high false rate because after they took your coding test they didn't do as well as you thought they should? Did you hire any of them and did they out perform your initial assessment.

If you didn't hire them and compare them to new hires who have bad resumes but did well on your test how would you know?

You can't objectivity judge a candidate by your test results only. Otherwise your test is just randomly filtering people. Until you do that you don't know how effective your test is. You could be flipping a coin and getting the same results.

This only makes sense if they want top talent. Usually they want cheap/easy to push around talent and for that you need a screener that filters out the best and whoever remains will have the strength to deal with bully managers or lack of requirements

Docker doesn't run on windows 10 without virtualization enabled in the bios. The computer a purchased last year didn't have support for this feature and there is no way to run docker.
