A new kind of coding challenge is making the rounds: instead of writing code, developers are asked to review a pull request containing three deliberately planted bugs and find them. The exercise inverts the usual interview format, testing code review and reading skills rather than implementation. Programmers are debating it as a fairer, more realistic test of everyday engineering ability.
Why now: It flips the standard coding interview on its head, sparking discussion about how developers should really be evaluated.
