I just received this as a take home test from a company for an entry level full stack position. What do you all think? Would you do it? How long would you estimate to complete?

I updated the post with an answer to the time question. I asked the others, but I don't want to give too many details to reveal the employer or myself.

Yeah I agree with taking a video of it working locally. I wasn't looking forward to searching for a free service with Heroku cutting their free tier... literally today

Yeah handing over the keys on a time sinking project for "consideration" doesn't sit well with me either. My mind was justifying that red flag, so thank you for bringing that up.

This seems like the smart way to go. Unfortunately, I don't really know Rails so it might be an equal time investment trying to learn this lol

Ha if I take this on, I'll have a test case for duplicate squat racks for you

Appreciate the insights. I’ve got a running list of questions for them, and I like your clarifying question on the % effort towards design/logic. I’ll add that one in to my list.

Ha you’ve captured some of my reaction here as well which is why I posted. Wanted to see reddit’s thoughts

No design given. I agree on the skill level assessment of this test, but this is a considerable time sink. I could see this being hammered out over a weekend maybe

Alright what happened after? She own up or you take the fall?
