Great article. Agree with most of the points there.
It's an idea that looks great on paper but it's actually not that great.
It's like the 'unlimited vacation' rubbish. Like yeah, people area actually afraid of taking vacations or they take too much and got terminated. It's best to know how many days you've actually earned and take what you have than playing those games.
Plus no actual way to verify who's doing the homework assignments anyway as opposed to a live interview however imperfect that is.
On top of that, some sketchier startup founders opened up that they're starting to abuse this to get tasks done for free. So as a candidate why'd you allow yourself for this?
