Exactly, which is the entire reason the array pattern exists, and yet the article forgets to mention that entirely.

We don't want to replace all interviewing. We won't test for culture fit, or presentation skills (although we can test for some industry-specific knowledge and communication skills). You can think of it as technical screening stag

These are all great questions, thank you. We don't want to serve non-hardware companies that are hiring their first hardware engineers. We want to serve companies of all sizes (including startups) that are building products that are so

Thank you - we think we’re at least 10x better than a non-technical recruiter (also because they have completely different incentives). These reservations are fair. Hopefully, eventually we’ll have enough endorsements and references to give

Thank you, this is good feedback. We’re both native greek speakers, and we meant it in a lighthearted way, but you’re right that not everyone will see it this way.

You’re absolutely our target market! You’re not delegating the decision, you’re delegating the interviewing. We don’t make a decision, we give you a video and scorecard of a one hour technical interview. You can integrate our interviews at

That’s a good point regarding hardware in the name. Eventually we’d like to do all hardware and more (e.g. architecture), but currently our expertise is in mechanical and robotics engineering. Our pitch: We make recruiting easier, better an

I've spent a lot of time flying on VATSIM/IVAO, and some time controlling. I also eventually got my real-world Private Pilot License. VATSIM is an amazing community and the quality of the ATC service offered is incredibly high. It

A taxiway that goes under a runway would require large, long inclines and declines. An A320 is ~12m tall, and with a 5% incline/decline (which is very large) you'd require 480m of horizontal distance in incline/decline, which

They gave some justifications for my complaints and apologized. They let me cancel my Metal plan without deducting the cancellation fee, as per my request. They sent me a copy of all my data as I later requested, and deleted my account.

Revolut has terrible customer support, even for paying customers of the highest tier (and they're super expensive!). Their in-app chat support agents take ages to respond and are either robots, or they act like they're robots. The
