Wait - where does it say this is an option? It isn't as far as I can tell - it is how they do it. You either invest 3-9 hours on a "project" before the interview or you don't get the interview.
This isn't "an alternative testing process" as such.
- Udo 11y agoI logged into my TripleByte account and selected it as an option. The UI is still broken, but yes: it's an option. It's a separate track you can choose to be on.
- nsfyn55 11y agoIf its an option and they don't exhibit any bias towards candidates that prefer a traditional interview then thats fine, but they should make it clear in the article.

As Ammon wrote it: "Anyone who passes our take-home project assessment will get exactly the same service from us as people who do the regular interviews. We'll work hard to find several YC startups they'd be a great fit for, fast track them through the hiring processes, and handle all logistics of flights/accommodations/scheduling."
- nsfyn55 11y agozing! you got me. I only skimmed the first paragraph. Nah sounds cool. I wish you the best of luck. Let us know if it works.
- spicyj 11y agoThe post pretty clearly says: > To solve the problem of interview anxiety, we're adding a second track to our interview process at Triplebyte. Applicants, if they choose, will be able go through our process by completing programming projects on their own time. > The project-based track will require a larger time commitment (and we expect lots of people to stick with the standard track for this reason).
