#42The amount of effort put into this tool...just for hiring to your exact shop? I cannot imagine that's a good return on investment?

#45What's with "artesenal"? Is this a joke that I don't understand or a surprising way to write "artisanal"?

#46Nice way of hiring but is it really worth it to give the public a trip to Maui (kinda expensive these days) Does it really reveal that much talent to make it worth the money? Just curious
Way less than you would pay for a recruiter
they usually ask for a non trivial percentage of the first year salary

#48That's really cute, it reminds me that Will Wright (creator of The Sims) has referenced this book "The Ants", by Bert Holldobler in multiple occasions as a key inspiration for his games (and in particular SimAnt) and systems thinking. Did you come across that during your research phase or had you not heard about it? I haven't read it yet, but maybe someday I'll get around to it.
Hey, I'm the one who built this particular challenge!
I had no clue, but thanks for the book lead! It didn't come up directly, but SimCity 2000 and especially SimCity 4 had a huge impact on me growing up / I still spin up SimCity 4 from time to time, so I imagine there's a massive indirect influence haha.

#50All dark themes are too low contrast. Give me pure white (including comments) on pure black please.
on the home page (dev.moment.com) you can type `theme -h` and then `theme set [name]` to change the color scheme, which carries forward to the sim!
