Well, people know that recruiters have the opinion about quizzes, |
| 10 |
so they think it is pointless to discuss :) |

The main problem is that lots of (not all) people think, if they have |
| 15 |
quizzes done, |
| 16 |
they are ready to be developers, some of them even think if they copy-pasted |
| 17 |
the answer and give us the quote it is ok and they will pass. The answer for |
| 18 |
both statements is no. |

Quzzes are being treated as an obstacle to be a dev, like "wow, I have |
| 25 |
to answer |
| 26 |
so much questions to be the dev, I have no time for this". The short |
| 27 |
answer is: |
| 28 |
"if you have no time to fill quizzes you are not ready to be the dev", |
| 29 |
people |
| 30 |
who are ready spend very little amount of time filling them with zero |
| 31 |
difficulty. |
