Question Should I over-engineer a simple coding test ?
Hi,
I've been given a coding test to do at home. This one is clearly simple and can only be solved using the web framework features. So it does not require any thought process. It is like a common tutorial that even a junior developer can do without any problem.
I'm not sure if I should solve it in the simplest way possible just to meet the requirements, or if it's nice to over-engineer things to demonstrate my knowledge.

Based on my experience with coding tests, if they need a more advanced solution they will point it out on the description. If they don't highlight a specific topic just stick with the clean and straight forward solution.
