Despite some of the comments here, I'm actually a fan of the 'homework' format. I'm not always great at hiring, but I know how to gauge the 'homework' interviews, and I've usually been right about the inte

Linux is fine if you're at home and have a few hours to kill to figure out how to tweak something, but if you're at work and need to do a video call using startup-of-the-week's proprietary service and use a projector at the
