What's to stop someone from diving head first down the stairs to speed up their descent?

- spamizbad 11y agoI think the idea behind starfigher is great. But if I was using their service, I'd do a "Trust, but verify" approach. I would not skip a technical interview. But I also wouldn't bombard them with inane whiteboard challenges or multi-hour take-home challenges However, I would want them to walk me through their code. And I would want to probe into why they made certain decisions. And I'd like to give them at least one challenge and witness their problem solving process. So #5 would most certainly not be skipped. But if the expectation of this service is there's absolutely no technical vetting process outside of this game then I guess it wouldn't be a service I'd ever use to hire someone. I don't believe that's the case though.
