Ask HN: Why is there no developer review site avoid cold interview experience?
When you are hiring first few devs for a startup, almost all of them ask for equity, I am not saying it's bad but you can't hire some guys based on interview alone. And some startups solve this problem by having a probation period. Why can't we have a review system where other fellow developers who've worked with you, vouch for you, for example, a developer can "approve of" or "disapprove of" for another developer. It might not be perfect. Any thoughts? I know this is far from perfect. But it offers some signals which can help bypass cold interview experience (based on tough DS/Algos which you may never need while working there).
Thank you.
