Regardless of how many stars the repo has on github, why would you expect someone to learn a library just to take a code challenge for your company when the job spec doesn't even mention this library as a requirement? The recruiter specified that "it should only take 2 hours" to complete the task, while thats absolutely false as I would have to read the whole API etc.
Also when I asked for a different challenge in either Vanilla JS or any other of the technologies in the job spec you completely ghosted.
It worked out absolutely fine for me since I got a much better paid job but just warned other people what to expect.
I don’t think any company specifies exactly the job requirements as there are many, especially as the job progresses. The point of the assignment is to see how well can you deal with new challenges.
Interestingly enough, other developers went through the assignment without any trouble way under 2 hours.
Glad it worked out for you. Not everyone is the right fit and I’m glad we found out earlier than later.
