wait a second, are you using interviews to tackle your backlog? is this legal?

  Honest reason for doing this: A lot of candidates would hopefully appreciate the work they have put in to the interview does not go to waste and is part of some FOSS project out there. We have seen endless take home tasks from other companies that you spend few days to work on and that goes to waste. We also give them an option to delete all the code they have written at the end of the interview.

    idk man, it makes me feel taken advantage of. I prefer take homes to be on the side of trivial and ephemeral. I have even declined challenges where they state that they will use my code if it meets the reqs and even pay me to do so. The whole proposition seems scummy to me.

      Thank you for the feedback. We will potentially look into iterating on the interview process whcih will include not contributing to any of our projects if devs feel this way. PS: About code deletion, we have updated docs here: https://github.com/OneUptime/interview/blob/master/software-full-stack.md https://github.com/OneUptime/interview/blob/master/software-... PS2: We're a tiny team. We're profitable and 100% bootstrapped.
