Imagine a coding test a developer was asked to undertake in a tech company.

It's not hard.
The time schedule might be tight though.

Easy stuff.

These are the kind of interviews developers should be expecting. It's not longer just question and answer, they need to see what you can do. A php developer should be able to easily achieve those functionalities. He might need to look up one or two things from stack overflow for that bonus part tho

Extensive tests like this should never be done for free ever. It looks like a free work. Why are they asking for the Github repo? They can download the code, send a regret email and then choose the best from everyone naive enough to do the test.

Well, as a senior php developer, you'd already have done lots of projects like this already in your portfolio. It's just a matter of editing what can be seen from the frontend and little modifications to your past works.
But you are right tho, the Github repo might be overreaching from the company. They should only request for the url where you'll hosting the system.

I didn't even see it from this angle.

This is the case of another WeJapa. From the question, the company/individual was clear about the supposed coding test.

They'll just clone the repo and host it for free. I think it's a scam.

That's a full fledged website for a coding interview, with a crazy deadline too.

A github public host with full source code? that's just sinister

It's simple self....... Though the time is short but with day and night you can get it done.

I am surprised people can't see what you are seeing. This is an attempted code heist, they are trying to get someone to do free work for them. If they cannot browse your already done jobs, they can shove their job offer where the sun don't shine.
Upcoming developers should not allow desperation to get the better of them. There are many unscrupulous employers out there looking to rip off unwary developers.

Exploitation

Very few feautures.
7 days is fair enough although it could be done in less than 7 days. Forget react use Vue quickly.
I have delivered a crypto site in 3days. it was suppose to be a week project but i was busy with something else till 3days to deadline.

This is much possible when u already have most of work done b4.

Yeah most likely PHP as Microservices , docker looks complex from outside but not too bad eventually

OP i am still learning HTML and CSS ..... I just want to ask, I am thinking they are saying one to build a website like jumia or those e-commerce sites with a user account, I don't know maybe that I what authentication means where the user can order stuff and also manage those stuff......... that git part I don't understand maybe to upload one's code there and host the website on Heroku , I think Heroku is like bluehost and godaddy hosting platform ........ please correct me if I am wrong coz I am still a learner

You're pretty much correct on these fronts except for the fact that Heroku isnt like Bluehost and Godaddy, .it is not a platform, it is a hosting "infrastructure" . . take note, big difference between platform and infrastructure,as the latter is one-level deeper . ., it has no cpanel, and is therefore barebones, means you have to work from scratch, command line. No user interface that allows drag and drop like cpanels . . .

Boss so in other words they are looking for a full stack developer
