I learned Unity the wrong way | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread turned a Unity learning story into a debate over take-home interviews and how they should be evaluated.

Commenters argued about self-taught learning gaps and whether candidates who miss requirements should be screened out.

Some saw skipped instructions as a sign of poor follow-through; others said the assignment may simply have been too long.

The original author joined the discussion, intensifying the exchange.

The thread highlights hiring tensions around measuring real skill, judgment, and fairness in interview tasks.
