Had an interview at a company. They asked me to do a coding challenge. Solve it without AI. The task was written in AI and requirements all over the place. Took me 6hrs+. I sent it and they wanted to see me in person. Took half a day off to make to the interview. Meeting went well. They call me and tell me my assignment was not what they expected.

There should be a hefty fine for this behavoiur.

What is “the west” meaning nowadays anyway? US threatens to invade Europe and is closer to russia than NATO. They are barely allies anymore.
