Not the point of the article, but it pretty much sums up big part of job interviews in tech.
Also, the article feels very bittersweet - it seems like Mozilla is full of enthusiasts caring about its mission, it's sad to see it going through these rough times.
- richardwhiuk 6y agoI think the author is actually saying they weren't productive at the start.
- phkahler 6y agoI agree. His background was not a fit, but his drive and willingness to learn got him through. BTW that also seems to be the problem with tech interviewing we keep hearing about. He probably would have passed an interview with me even for the Python work. I have 3 things I look for in tech interviews and he's clearly got 2 of them. The 3rd requires his feedback on a particular role.
