guys, look at this company....

here's a reddit convo that kinda went viral on them. after an engineer applied to their backend eng role, they emailed him saying he 1. needed to complete a coding challenge and 2. work for free for three months. their job posting also said "please do not apply if you do not have the skill necessary to build something extraordinary" LOLOLOL. 

1. I really despise coding challenges. they don't tell you anything except if someone is absolutely terrible. and they really don't differentiate much between good and v good. they're also usually pretty insulting

did i mention this coding challenge was excessive?  they gave their candidates an entire WEEK (normal ones take anywhere from 30-90 min) to complete it and the challenge consisted of building a core part of their platform....

2. who the f would work for free for three months? these people should just learn to interview, read a resume and read a coding challenge and if someone turns out to be an asshole, they can just fire him/her, like a normal company. talk about starting off on the wrong foot...

and finally, this:

"please do not apply if you do not have the skill necessary to build something extraordinary"

this actually doesn't even make me mad. this is pure gold. i will enjoy reading that for another, about four hundred more times.
