        Even the most optimistic guesses underestimate the potential of going beyond credentials.

        I tried signing up (as developer) unfortunately it does not allow you to apply if you live in Europe.

        Looks great, but still enforces geographical bias. Which is a shame.

        This probably has huge disparate impact. Going by ability rather than credentials bad for women, non-Asian minorities.

        @garrytan the most important (only?) question for a programmer interview: what do you write on your own time?

        Triplebyte was pretty awful. Thought it was just sour grapes but looking around online I can't find a single success story.

        This is amazing. The last thing to evaluate properly is their desire to work towards the company's mission.

        What if the test-taker cheats while taking the test? Happens often.Ex: Friend codes instead of the actual test-taker during the test!
