For anyone who is interested in peer-to-peer systems like this, and completes Sarp's course, I have an open interview challenge you can submit it to if you find that you want to continue building in this space as a profession: https://gitlab.com/webai-open/network/interview-challenge https://gitlab.com/webai-open/network/interview-challenge Take the guidelines to heart though. We evaluate you on demonstrating understanding of what you did, not that you completed the course. My advice for standing out would be to continue building on it past the end of the course and do something cool yourself.

Do y'all really only work M-Th? If so, that's awesome.

  Yes. Our salary bands are competitive outside of FAANG (my previous life was at NFLX), we are fully remote, nomad friendly, and work 4 day weeks. You can come on full time or as a contractor (your choice). We give space to learn and do things right. Are comfortable investing in knowledge today to see compounding returns tomorrow. For example, I spent the first 3 weeks of my employment here sitting on my couch reading research papers. That paid dividens, we collapsed a 1.5 year timeline into a 1 month timeline. 3 weeks of reading research papers and 1 week of building got us to a milestone we didn't plan on reaching until a year+ into the project: we trained a model running on a developers laptop in Grand Rapids Michigan against a dataset sitting on another laptop in Yorkshire, with a fully auditable CI/CD log of what data was fed into the model. Another example, the team decided we should do rust to cross-compile to WASM etc. from day one, so we all took 2 weeks to study the Rust Book and learn together. Now we have a subset of our p2p stuff compiling to WASM and running in headless firefox during our integration tests from day one. Pretty flexible in every respect, just need good people who can help build this.

This is so cool! Have you already hired people using this method? Or is this a new initiative?

  It's new, and an experiment, but I have high hopes for it.
