A prospective employer invited me to do a HackerRank test. Here's my proposed alternative.

Hi there! Thanks for offering me a coding assigment test. I see that this can be a useful method to compare different candidates applying for the XYZ-Role. I would like to kindly ask if you have some leeway in finding an alternative way to evaluate my coding skills? I have written a number of open-source projects/spoke at conferences/worked as a coding-teacher/did XYZ and I would love to showcase this to your engineers:

LIST STUFF YOU DID

These are just some projects I picked that demonstrate not just skill in programming but also in math, design and XYZ.

Please can I kindly ask you to check with your engineers and/or the hiring manager to perhaps have a look/conduct a code review and/or ask me to add a feature or resolve a bug?

I checked that ABC is doing a lot of XYZ and I opened a Github issue extra for ABC (LINK TO GITHUB ISSUE). I can program this feature/fix that bug within a given timeframe and then discuss the written code with one of your engineers?

Well, that was unexpected. In the following, I’m trying to follow Jon Evans’ advice from “The Terrible Technical Interview”.
