> I'm particularly interested in this as a startup filter. There are a lot of startups out there, many that I don't know about. I'm wondering if Triplebyte could help me find something I'm interested in by filtering out startups that I'm unlikely to be interested in.
That's exactly what we're going to do. There's an increasing number of tools to help investors find startups to invest in and the same should exist for applicants, since that's essentially what they're doing with their time.
I'm curious what info you derive from "watching someone code". I've hired a lot of people over the years and found what works best for me is to just talk to them, no coding.
But if you're in a screen share and wathicng someone code and watching them make mistakes, type poorly, or sit there thinking with the cursor just blinking isn't this sort of an interpretive performance art that you're trying to then judge objectively?
How do you avoid being biased to hiring only people who type fast? (There seems to be this obsession with lines of code per minute to the detriment of effective functionality per week in our industry.)
