Leoeer··on Rethinking Triplebyte
Well, I hope you're right and will keep an eye out (and will regardless be Fasttrack-ing in 6 months when I'm looking for FTE work, so I'll see firsthand :p)

Tentative agree here, if quiz-taking is prominently displayed i'm still probably going to use the platform

this seems like it's just diluting the signaling value of being on the platform? (and seems like it'll quickly create an upper and underclass of quiztakers vs nonquiztakers)

So, I'm personally pretty unhappy with this change, because part of what made triplebyte valuable (and gave y'all the hundreds-of-thousands-engineer userbase) was the _path to competence-signalling_ which avoided credentials that your platform gave, given the quiz -- companies knew that someone being on triplebyte was a strong signal, and engineers had a path to signalling competence that was one-to-many. Eliminating that signal for goals that...seemingly don't require it (why does this new job platform require eliminating the assessment?) seems unwise, IMO
