I'm not looking for a job, but I want to do the work-sample part of your hiring process after reading this post. Sounds like a fun time.


Then you will like the thingy we're about to launch a lot.


Don't forget to update us on the progress and the results after launch.

It would seriously change my worldview if it will turn out that Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Dropbox, Evernote, Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, Square, PayPal and countless others firms that hire their engineers using some variation of whiteboard coding would be proven wrong in their practices by one person.


I don't know how to respond to this. I was simply telling the parent commenter, if the work-sample stuff we did at Matasano sounded fun, the thing we're doing now basically extracts and amplifies all the fun we think was in that process and opens it to the public.
