    We don't want to replace all interviewing. We won't test for culture fit, or presentation skills (although we can test for some industry-specific knowledge and communication skills…

    These are all great questions, thank you. We don't want to serve non-hardware companies that are hiring their first hardware engineers. We want to serve companies of all sizes (inc…

    Thank you, this is good feedback. We’re both native greek speakers, and we meant it in a lighthearted way, but you’re right that not everyone will see it this way.

    I've spent a lot of time flying on VATSIM/IVAO, and some time controlling. I also eventually got my real-world Private Pilot License. VATSIM is an amazing community and the quality…

    A taxiway that goes under a runway would require large, long inclines and declines. An A320 is ~12m tall, and with a 5% incline/decline (which is very large) you'd require 480m of …
