Good idea. Everyone gives similar kind of interviews at tens of companies.

There is definitely place for bringing some efficiency.

Could you share which companies you have collaborated with so far.

As a small heads up, trying to market yourself as the next Triplebyte might not be the best strategy, given the shady user-hostile practices they've made headlines with [1].

Hi Etheryte,

Thank you for pointing that out. I remember following that news. But I thought Amom's (the founder) apology email was sincere and heartfelt.

However, we will definitely learn from their mistakes and make sure that we always involve our users in our major product decisions.

Hate to be a stickler but it should be:

> You have experience with Javascript, HTML, CSS, and/or front-end frameworks

Since neither JS, HTML, or CSS is a "front-end" framework. They're scripting/markup languages

I tries the full stack quiz - IMO it is horrible. Bunch of javascript spaghetti code with ++i + i++ like idiotic questions and some basic SQL. Do you really guys think that calculating inside your head some shamanic expressions will evaluate objectively the engineering experience?
