Build Trial Procedure Change

[tokumei]

I will quote a post that I made during the staff discussion of this change that hopefully indicates my reasoning.

I am completely in favor of this change. I accepted a trialee a while back because he didn't build an ALU for his trial. He had no clue what to build, so I told him to come up with something that incorporates his knowledge of boolean logic. In only one hour he had a working Connect-4 game in which I could see a lot of innovation. Even though he didn't really show much knowledge of arithmetic in his trial, his application, which included a picture of a CPU, told me otherwise. Also, I feel like we need more innovators on ORE, people who are able to create things from scratch like him. That was my reasoning when I passed him.

A trialee should not be judged by what he has built, but the potential intellect he can give to this community. An example: if someone doesn't know what two's complement or an implies gate is but has an innovative way of thinking, I am willing to let him pass. I think it's more important to have a well-rounded community with many talents than a bunch of people who just learned how to build an ALU.
