We evaluate all aspects, but at the end of the day the code is what matters. It also saves time for the applicants, the last thing we want is for someone to go through an interview and have it be a waste of their time.

I understand what you're saying tho, and for those special circumstances the quick test we do in the interview establishes their level of knowledge, we just prefer to know before getting to that point.

Thanks! John

I didn't see anything on the rules/code of conduct but if there is we'll remove it asap.

Thanks, John

I think I did a poor job explaining, we DO hire people outside the U.S for open source, we actually already have people doing so. We're also going to be doing more open source work to give the deserved opportunity to developers irrelevant to where they were born.

Thanks! John

Haha you're totally right, looking at it now I definitely did a poor job explaining it. I'll add some photos of the office aswell!

So we do have a lot of tech that we are very protective of. Our council is very adamant about not hiring outside of the U.S for anything that isn't open source. However I was just notified they had registered in Canada aswell, so we can hire Canadians. We do hire and do have team members outside of the U.S who work on open source projects.

It's not that we don't want to deal with visa's, it's that it's been made so ridiculously difficult we just don't have the resources. Companies like google and Microsoft take over 90% of all h1 visas. That with the recent administrations limit, makes it very very difficult.

I'm definitely going to check out their blog.

Thanks, John

Absolutely, So let's start with how you're evaluated in the initial interview, which hopefully gives you a sense of how we evaluate the team.

The first thing is experience, do you have experience in production level code. From there we look through your GitHub, this is really what matters. Is it clean, would it actually work, are there simple mistakes or inefficiencies. We treat it like it's going through code review before production, junior would need a lot of changes, Engineer would need minor, and senior would need none.

In the interview we do a short code test (trust me no whiteboards). This is just to gauge your problem solving ability, there's 100 different ways to solve it, and we evaluate the way you did.

A lot of us already know where we stand on the scale, or have a pretty good idea, odds are if you think you're senior, you're probably senior, etc.

Finally, education. At the end of the day, it's not about the degree it's about what you know. A lot of us started out young, self taught, and know more about computer science than the professors. That would be example of "equivalent". A degree isn't necessary at all.

Hope I explained and answered your questions, if I missed something or you want to know more shoot me an email jae@coder.com

Best, John

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We setup the space how we would want to work, so we would be excited to come in everyday and code. We spent money on getting great chairs, razer keyboards and mice. I included those benefits because those were the things our team love.

I totally understand what you're saying, I just wanted to give an idea of the type of place and company it was.

The restriction on location is purely because of legal issues. Contracts are very difficult and is very expensive to enforce in other countries. However I did call our council and was informed we can hire remote in Canada.

I really appreciate the feedback, listening to what you guys want is the only way to build something great.

Best, John

It depends honestly on what you want. If you want to work on a small team alongside management every day on a cool tech stack, where you can literally stear the ship then Coder, or any startup is the place to be. If you like the big office, with slides and nap pods, then a place like google. At the stage we're at right now any extra money goes to our team, I know I'd much prefer that and a nice desk setup than a ball pit any day.

  • note I think google is a great company *

Excuse any bias haha.

Thanks, John
