Process
I received an online coding link from Lytmus. I solved all three questions and focused on code readability, class definition, and so on.
However, I was surprised that I did not even have a chance to proceed. Perhaps they prioritize coding time significantly; I took longer to finish the questions than their reported average time.
Questions
One image processing coding question, one SQL question, and one HTTP request processing question.
