Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2020)

I'm not affiliated with Gitlab in any way, so I wouldn't know, but I'd speculate that the point of these questions is not to see if a candidate knows what MVC is or how a request is made, but to see if they can explain these things in writing.

It may seem like a pointless skill but, at least in my experience, fully remote companies have to rely on it for a lot of things. I've met a lot of people who were great at what they did, but couldn't write an useful email. That's less of a big deal when you can communicate in person and smooth things over via blackboard diagrams and back-and-forth questions. But when you're an ocean apart and have only four hours of overlapping hours that's a lot harder.

FWIW, I used to be involved in hiring for remote positions at a former workplace, and we had one of these, precisely in order to see if our candidate could write an email or a wiki page explaining something. The only thing we did differently was that we used this at a slightly later step and tailored the questions to each candidate's experience, so as to avoid canned responses (not that it's hard for a good eye that has access to an Internet-connected machine to spot those).

Moved now. Thanks.

Yeah, I sent you off a resume. I dunno if I can do full time but I really like what you guys are doing. I've been using python since 1.4 in 1997 ... so for a while. Here's a project of mine from about 5 years ago you can look over to see if you're interested in what I can offer: https://github.com/kristopolous/DRR

Here's an overview I made about it: http://indycast.net/about

I still use it and the servers get a few dozen downloads a week ... I really just built it for myself and potentially others if they wanted.
