I was not a fan of Zapier's interview process. You're actually timed on your project and you have exactly 2 hours to do it. I was ultimately turned down after doing it because they said there were linting errors and they said I wa

> I think that would be a terrible idea. The gov't would want to make the debt non-dischargeable like they do with student loans. It would be devastating. I fail to see how this is worse than current predatory loan scenarios.
