Valid points but our tests don't say anything about how to implement it.

I would never say in a test using this lib and this framework.

Usually, the candidate has their freedom. So if someone would come with the exact solution it would be very obvious.

Like for a full stack dev using exactly the stack would be amazing because you have so many stacks, libs, frameworks out there.

Yes its most of the time never about the actual implementation. It about will the candidate fit into the company/team and what is his mindset.

A big point for me is also will he/she function in a team.

We all know the rockstars that write "the best" code but nobody except them understands what is happening because he or she refuses to play well with the team. Also, other things that are more about soft skills than the actual coding skills.

I see the point that for some companies it can be a problem that the solution for the task is somewhere on GitHub.
