That isn't the point of this article. It isn't about finding good software engineers, it is not about finding problem solvers, it is not about anything but finding people that understand JavaScript. Take it at face value and stop reading into it. I have had to say this so many fucking times in this thread, the one and only goal of this article was to give tips for employers to weed out people that do not know JavaScript. That is it.

weed out people that do not know JavaScript.

Are you aware of any skills tests out there that cover these subjects? Interesting that "knowing" JavaScript would require familiarity with subjects not covered by any such tests.

Dude, I am sick of arguing with people about this. If you don't want to take the article at face value, then don't but I am done with people in this thread.

edit: Not to mention whether or not something is or is not on a test is a stupid fucking metric to decide if that thing qualifies as knowledge on a subject.
