If you have a best that actually measures expertise in engineering well, it’s going to be valuable for those who make hiring decisions.
Triplebyte essentially seems to have found a working business model that is about testing for expertise in programming. If you can do something similar as Triplebyte for other areas of expertise, that might be a good business model.
As far as genius hedgehog’s in academia go, currently they find it very hard to get funding for their ideas. If you would replace the current process of having to write a grant proposal with having to take a test to measure expertise, I would expect the diversity of ideas that get researched to increase.
Triplebyte? You mean, the software job interviewing company?
They had some scandal a while back where they made old profiles public without permission, and some other problems that I read about but can’t remember now.
They didn’t have a better way of measuring engineering expertise, they just did the same leetcode interviews that Google/etc did. They tried to be as similar as possible to existing hiring at multiple companies; the idea wasn’t better evaluation but reducing redundant testing. But companies kind of like doing their own testing.
They’re gone now, acquired by Karat. Which seems to be selling companies a way to make their own leetcode interviews using Triplebyte’s system, thus defeating the original point.
