I've used the Bunch.ai automated coach... And it's fantastic!

I can strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to improve their managerial skills (or soft skills in general).

It does feels quite casual, with small lessons that you can click through on your mobile device. Basically, it's like Netflix (casual), but it's educational for work-related skills :D

That's cool :-)

What is your tech stack now?

Do you already have ideas on how to evolve your tech stack when introducing the Android version in the future?

Wow, you are right - we have a very stupid usability problem/bug! We validate the URI by the "http" part, and not the "www" etc. Thank you very much for writing!

I'm a bit shocked that we didn't notice this until now!

P.S. It's now fixed, we will deploy it with the next release in a few days.

That's an awesome idea! Thank you! I'll talk with some users about it to hear their feedback.

I will think in this direction, thank you for putting some more arguments towards that!

My main concern with this direction is whether we should evaluate for language speaking skills. Second concern is cheating. Third concern, it's more difficult to build.

I'm sorry to hear! Could you email me more details to [email protected] so we can fix it faster?

OP here!

RemoteMore vs Triplebyte is an easy question.

Triplebyte: "Do you have remote opportunities? No. Right now, most of the companies we work with are hiring full-time in-office engineers. In the future, we hope to offer more remote opportunities."

--

On the remote work and getting sick, I don't have personal observations. I'll leave that question to others.

If you have a suggestion for alternative ways to evaluate: - English skills - Communication skills - Independent problem-solving skills

Of course, we are against discrimination. Just the opposite, we want a more connected world where people have easy access to job opportunities regardless of where they live.

I am very interested to hear!

Yes, you should target the more mature remote companies. There are even fully remote companies (Zapier, GitLab and so on), so it's definitely possible.

The companies that are very early on their remote capabilities typically avoid hiring remote juniors, and remote higher-level management positions. The reason is that those levels require communication with more stakeholders which means more mature remote practices. Project management type of positions are typically not too difficult to have remote.

That's interesting feedback, thanks for sharing!

With the rest of my team, we do daily stand-up on a video call - just to know each other more, and to understand each other better. Probably we will switch to fewer video calls as the team becomes more mature (e.g. once a week).

If others have feedback on this topic, it would be helpful to read it.

We have a call with the companies before approving their account. If they look unreliable, we won't approve their account.

We also follow up with the companies and the people they have hired to check if everything is going well.

So far, we haven't had problems. We will introduce company profiles soon, with remote info about the companies (e.g. how many remote vs. non-remote people work). We will probably also introduce some free built-in insurance for both parties as we scale.
