Potential hot take: take home code exercises create a more INCLUSIVE interview process.

Here’s why (a thread): By reviewing someone’s code the interviewer is able to not be as influenced by implicit bias from other factors of interviewing someone in person like accent, color, age, gender, etc.

I’m so pissed. @Angular Taiwan’s organizer told me just now that he’s cancelled my speaking slot AND that I have NO HOTEL accomodations because I’m not speaking.

With no comm prior. And I’m already here stranded in a foreign country.

What. The. Hell. Is. This. Bullshit. While there is more to this story NONE OF IT is good. This happened last year that he agreed to reimburse for travel and then when I submitted him receipts he tried to tell me he didn’t have the money. He took it back, and paid. I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
