Very much agree with you, at this point the abstraction is too low-level to be considered a proper ORM (or whatever the acronym should be for OLAP) and we're progressively working our way up to the right level. I love the idea of operating at the dimensions/measures level. Hoping we address this concern in the next couple of releases! Really appreciate the feedback

I'm one of the Moose maintainers, and yes, most OLAP use cases fall into data warehousing categories where exposing the database to analysts and letting them run loose with SQL is viable. We're seeing more and more that OLAP is becoming a core part of the application stack, for user and agent-facing analytics. There, we see a lot more appetite for building on the analytical stack the way we build on the transactional one.

Why does this not yet exist?

Would love to hear out a better solution.

We cook because we enjoy it. Its the last part of the interview and meant as a meet and greet of the team, not as an assessment of your cooking skills. Knowing that you enjoy the people you work with, in my opinion, is better than going in dark your first day on the job.

In terms of other processes, I've got through much more laborious interview processes. In the consulting world we'd prep for hours and then go through several rounds of case interviews and getting to know partners. One of our team members is a lawyer with similar experiences. As a software engineer I like to showcase my work. Having the ability to give back to the community and the liberty to pick the project that I contribute to sounded pretty good to me when the team pitched this approach.

There's also the fact that if more companies adopt this approach candidates could technically do a single open source challenge to apply to multiple companies :)

The previous challenges were too time consuming. That's why we switched to this approach.

We intentionally left the prompt ambiguous in terms of what a meaningful contribution is. A meaningful contribution can be anything that the candidate justifies as meaningful. A single, really well thought out method contributed to a library that the candidate uses often can be all it takes.

When we assess the candidate we take into account the full package. Senior engineers with an extensive portfolio and multiple open source contributions aren't help to the same volume as someone who's fresh out of school with little experience.

Dietary restrictions and preferences 100% welcome! Grew up with a celiac sibling and one of our team members is vegetarian. Similarly to design, in food, restrictions lead to creativity! (Founder of the company)

Looks awesome! Can't wait to try it. What other features are you guys planning on adding?
