Today at work I wrote 28-step instructions on how to get to a point where you can test changes made to a couple of React components exported as a NPM package. They involve setting up four separate repositories, installing their dependencies and runnind a portal shell rendering an app in an iframe...

This looks like a better way to evalutate potential hires than leet code puzzles. With over two decades of experience in frontend/backend and I still get asked how many f'ing bananas Koko can eat in `h` hours. That's f'ing bananas! (Not sure about AI, though.)
