theLastOfCats commented on Tell HN: Interview take home assessments without feedback are frustrating · Posted by u/shakes_mcjunkie
I took a take-home assignment from fly.io a while back; they promised that every completion would receive real human feedback.
As far as I remember, I was told it would take a few hours, maybe 4, but the assignment looked rather fun, so I thought, whatever, let’s do it.
Maybe I didn't understand the assignment fully or missed some cues; I don't know. But it took me roughly 10 hours spread across two days. After 5-6 hours, you don't feel like throwing the work away; you just want to finish. It was pretty frustrating.
After returning the assignment, I waited the two weeks they asked for and heard nothing. I sent one email, waited a week, got no reply, sent another, waited some more, and still received no reply. I ended up sending a handful of emails to various addresses I could find. I even sent a DM on Twitter to one of the founders to let them know. No reply anywhere.
Overall, it was a pretty bad experience.
Had a similar experience in Klarna, but I they returned with feedback.
Feedback was something like "Assignment is private and you can't store code on GitHub, you should send zip archive"

I, too, enjoy sharing my message history with the various Russian intelligence services.
If you live in US, better to share with FSB/GRU, than FBI/CIA/NSA. The same thing happens, only in reverse, if you live in Soviet Russia.
Anyway, there is no need to worrying, MOSSAD watch as all.

This is an awful decision. I've converted some friends and family to Signal over the past years (it took a while) and it is now their default messaging app on their phones. This is going to confuse them and is going to make it difficult for me to keep convincing them that Signal is the route to use. ("Why do I need 3 apps (Android Messages, Signal, Whatsapp) to talk to people?")
Why three tho? Use one – Telegram.
It is always the eternal tomorrow with AI.
