Congrats on securing your funding and all the best!
Real happy for the them, I've using them for so long, probably since they started. Amazing service.
the jobs link is interesting. Takes you to a functioning command line but has no other hints or instructions. An interesting gating function: those who don't know how to proceed further (or can't problem-solve sufficiently to find out) aren't likely to succeed in the role and can safely be excluded. Might also have the added bonus of being safe from headhunter bot scrapers.
This seems like a solid product and I will definitely keep it in mind. One thing that I really like is the number of languages you support ( https://repl.it/languages ). I would recommend adding support for Elixir and Phoenix down the road. While the community is small (compared to other languages/frameworks), it is growing, and the community is great.

For me, it seems to be stuck at 'Connecting'. If I mash buttons I can get a glimpse of the command line, even see flashes of messages if I enter two-letter commands quick enough. Is this a bug or part of the test?

This is awesome I hope they invest some of that into rebranding as I do believe Repl.it is probably the worst name for anything. It almost sounds like a nefarious file format or like some software company for the early 90s; maybe that’s the vibe they’re going for. Even the word Replit looks like “reptile”. I guess it’s very developer-y it’s just grammatically grating on the nerves.
I am a long time user of repl.it and I think it's great but I do wonder what the expected ROI is here? Call me short sighted, but It's still just a repl. Perhaps it could be sold to GitHub to integrate with Gist?
Since you've been using this for a while, maybe you can educate me on the benefit of this over a shell or IDE on my local system? I don't quite get it.
