Shameless plug: If you’re looking for an online compiler specifically designed for conducting interviews in Clojure, you might find [0] very useful. It’s designed to streamline coding interviews with real-time collaboration features.

"six reported cases were among more than 6.8 million doses"

The odds are extremely low. I’d not freak out.

Looks similar to Fluid app but I hope it actually works. I bought Fluid app few days ago and I am not happy with it. The website in the app crashes after you put your mac to sleep few times.

That's an interesting idea. I was running a dev shop few years ago and this would've been useful.

I saw this couple of days ago and was wondering how flexible this framework is? Will you be providing source code?

Looks cool! What's your pricing model?

Thanks. You can install JDK.

Co-founder here. We charge because this is our full-time job. We will consider reducing price if our volume increases. Btw, I will be happy to discuss discounts for HNers if you email me at munir-at-remoteinterview-dot-io

Thanks Teeboo!

Co-founder here. We don't delete but we suspend them if they are inactive for long. They are restored when you access them again. Though you have an option to delete machines.

Co-founder here. Thanks for the suggestion. Interviews for full-stack developer is a better use-case for this. For 'palindrome test' type interviews, we have https://www.remoteinterview.io/features-interview

I agree that it is much, much better to reject a good candidate than to accept a bad candidate!

It's an interesting idea.. something like fizzbuzz style take-home.

We are trying to do same i.e. streamline the process. I do both take-home projects as well as pair-programming during screening. Take-home projects give me a big picture about candidates' ability to solve problems with software whereas pair-programming interviews tells me about his ability to think in terms of code at deeper level.

It's up again!

Lol It's going crazy there!

I'd go with option 2. With tiered pricing, you can attract indie developers with more affordable pricing.

I developed few apps on WP few years ago and I realized that Metro design is very dictatorial in almost every aspect of design and UX. Almost everything is well defined that you can't come up with creative ideas. iOS on the other hand gives a very flexible environment (almost like a blank canvas) where you can come up with innovative UI controls.

Can't agree more. Remote is the future!

For now, we are rating employers based on candidates feedback but the idea of using unique/temp email address is really interesting!

- recruiters don't screen well enough technically or personality wise - resumes/profiles suck for determining coding ability. Sparsely filled github accounts and pet projects are far better indicators

We are the same team behind https://remoteinterview.io. We encourage employers to screen on the basis of technical skills instead of resumes.

- recruiters tend to lie about everything (candidate availability, salary requirements, etc)

We are planning to implement rating system for employers by candidates.

- companies are cagey about salary. I'd rather know up front rather than waste everyone's time.

That's what TryCatch.cc is trying to solve.

- lack of exposure to the team during the hiring process. Since I'll be spending more time with them than my family I want them to be people I like rather than neckbeards that aren't personable.

Very valid point. It should be solved.

Great question. The biggest value employers get is significantly higher response rate from developers. Compare it with linkedin inmails where most of the interview offers are considered spam because developers don't see the incremental monetary value in offers.

It's a very valid concern and thanks for pointing it out. We will let you edit your anonymous profile first. We should add this in FAQs.

UPDATE: FAQ updated.

Yes you are right. For that reason we are planning to show anonymous profile to candidates and let him/her edit it.

UPDATE: FAQs updated.

Thanks for the suggestion. We are trying different ways to generate anonymous list for employers.

You have a valid concern. We are starting with salary to simplify things because cash is what matters the most.

Noted. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's a good question. We are currently considering salary only but in near future we will add job position too. For example, a candidate can say: "Contact me only if some company is willing to consider me for VP of Eng.".

^Yes that's exactly what we are planning to do to make sure that developers only get genuine offers.
