This is something I have been trying to do. I made https://websitescenes.com https://websitescenes.com for that purpose but maybe it’s not giving the impression I had hoped. Also considering open sourcing some NFT tooling I’ve been working on. Super open to ideas here. I think about this a lot.
- crayboff 4y agoA portfolio is a great start, but how would a potential employer know you weren't lying/plagerizing/etc without some sort of technical test?
- websitescenes 4y agoI mean don’t most places have a 30 day trial period or something built in? Seems like minimal risk to me.
- nojito 4y agoHiring someone is extremely expensive and a massive time sink.
- websitescenes 4y agoIs it though? I tend to let people go pretty quickly if they don’t work out. But I’ve found some real gems because I’ve taken a chance on someone in the past. How do you quantify the cost of missing out on good people that you just assumed didn’t fit the mold? How expensive is that?
- moooo99 4y ago> How do you quantify the cost of missing out on good people that you just assumed didn’t fit the mold? How expensive is that? That is a cost that isn't easily quantifiable. However, the cost of wrong hires is easily quantifiable based on the time effort required to (attempt) to get a new hire going. Considering that most companies are looking to minimize risk and the potential benefit is not quantifiable I would estimate the chances to skip the interviewing process as minimal.
- b20000 4y agoif the interviewer is competent he will know you wrote the code. if he does not know, then this means coding interviews do not actually optimize for competent people. are you afraid to find out the latter might be the case?
- websitescenes 4y agoAre you insinuating that someone with ASD/ADHD is incompetent because they would need special considerations when testing?
- warrenm 4y agoI have a blog And my LinkedIn history And a resume So does everyone else (well...maybe minus the blog) And yet people lie (or don't tell the truth) on their resume and LI profiles all the danged time
- websitescenes 4y agoI think asking for references would easily remedy this.
- ThrowawayR2 4y agoReferences are worthless because nobody is going to give references that badmouth them.
- websitescenes 4y agoEven if they come from reputable and we’ll respected individuals in the field?
- warrenm 4y agoLet's say I give you three well-respected folks as "references" That's cool - do you know them? I'm only going to ever give you people who'll give me a good reference So asking for references is pretty pointless
