What do you mean by "fixes parallel histories"? What is a parallel history and how do you fix it?

It's an every language thing, but it is magnified with code typically produced by people who write in Perl.

Maybe you want to self-select out of companies who have questions like that.

Some companies and candidates don't have the bandwidth for such a lengthy interview process.

Does anyone else have experience with a system like this? Sounds bold. Sounds like something someone in the valley should try.

> recruiters risk losing credibility with the engineers if the candidate is rejected or ends up being a bad hire This isn't really a good way of looking at it. It should be more collaborative/problem solving rather than adversa

I just had this discussion at work... I think that it is implicit in this context that a minimum amount of technical ability be met. Otherwise we'd just be hiring "nice people". Obviously we don't do that.

The bad/goodness of your strategy I would measure by your market success or happiness. Do whatever makes you happy and employable. Personally, I love the idea of being a generalist. But at the end of the day, you gotta code and code go

I've had people interview claiming to know X and then not code in X correctly. So... that's a red flag. We allow interviewees to pick their strongest language. But if you end up picking something that doesn't exist, well, you

What exactly was Livemocha? I heard a lot about it but by the time I did, they had already changed their site. What was their original approach that was so well received?
