For the past few months, I have been interviewing with several companies. In all cases, one or more coding tests were included. I have also been on the interviewing side, evaluating a coding test. Here are my thoughts on the process. Are coding tests needed? When I started out as a software developer, nobody did coding tests as far as I know. You just talked to the hiring manager for an hour, and if they liked you, you got an offer.

Hiring for interns on Glassdoor for April 2020 fell as much as 39% when compared to April 2019.

Most organizations today collect far more data than they require for their business operations, simply because they can. By my company's estimates, on average, some 60% of the data that organizations collect is unused because it is either redundant, obsolete, or trivial. By eliminating this data—or by not collecting it in the first place—businesses can cut down on storage requirements and costs while also supporting sustainability objectives by using less energy.
