Hard to explain the absence of something other than it's just not there. The list of projects/accomplishments are fine but the reality is that people lie about stuff like that. I poked around their recent GitHub commits but it was mostly bug reports. Nothing really that points to being obviously great at coding.

I see that on paper they're a great candidate, but the reason that companies do these tests is that often the candidate doesn't measure up to the resume
