> I would take a 'great all around dev.' any day over someone I knew to be very knowledgeable about TS

Well that's what I don't think you get much in a tech test.

Not many tech tests probe your ability to understand business requirements, nail the acceptance criteria, work with others to develop test cases, or even demonstrate ability to integrate with other services.

Those sorts of skills are what set experienced devs apart from bootcamp graduates IMO. And those sort of skills are easier to talk about than to demonstrate in a single time limited test.



You test those things with your other interview questions. No sensible interview process is exclusively an algorithmic coding assessment.

I'm not aware of any company that does that, but I may be corrected...
