> As a Hiring Manager, do I need to spend multiple hours with 20 candidates to get a really valuable insight into who they are really like or should I just screen them with a basic exam so I only need to interview the 4 who can do it?

Why is your time more valuable than mine? Why should I invest my personal time in to your hiring process when you can't bother to spend the same amount of your on the job time, to hire someone whos going to add far more value to your company than your company is going to add to their profile?

The problem is some brilliant product manager decided that the reader mode button should not be available on all websites and should only be available on those it seems to be articles.

Wow, I'm very surprised at this. SO is where I got my current job from and IMO it's the best place for searching for jobs in software - esp because it was easy to search for specific requirements (ex visa sponsorship or remote). Running a job board must be much harder than I thought.

From what little I know of NFTs, that piece of paper is most definitely an NFT. Curious as to why you think it's not. Could you explain?

It looks very good for something whipped up in an hour. Did you consider using Redis as a data store for this? Seems like it would be quite easy to just generate a UUID as a key and set it with an expire time in redis. If you did consider Redis, any reason why you didn't end up using it?

The problem is Whatsapp has strong network effects unlike Facebook itself. Most people would be able to quit Facebook and it wouldn't make much of a difference to their lives, whereas cutting off Whatsapp would mean a daily inconvenience when you want to talk to the people closest to you.

With good reason. The free market is not effectively regulated against collusion in India. On the 'free' market, the middle men band together, fix prices, and the farmer ends up getting the short end of the stick. The mandis were originally established to prevent the farmers getting completely squeezed by scrupulous middle men.

They stoke communal sentiments, pit Hindus vs Muslims, make it seem like the minorities are out to destroy the Hindus, and a vast majority of the population just laps it up.

They have a giant misinformation network, which has recruited everybody from bots to popular actors to popular sportspeople and they spread out misinformation in a highly organized manner. Very effective at spreading FUD which translates into votes come election time.

Even now, on Twitter and Reddit you'll find thousands of posts about how the protesting farmers are khalistani terrorists.

Goebbels would be proud of what the BJP have accomplished.

Thanks for your advice! I'd also like to know if you would consider a non-conventional resume (like a specialized resume website), rather than a conventional word/pdf document, as a positive or a negative?

Yes I am currently based in India, and I know visas can be an issue, but I am specifically talking about openings that are advertised as 'Visa Sponsored'.

> forms are a complete mess to work with

Could you elaborate on this? I've been creating form heavy react apps for a couple of years now and haven't really come across anything that would make it 'a mess'.

I'd do something like this: have the user load up X dollars upfront. When they set the time they want to wake up, configure it such that if they don't hit a button on your site within half an hour from their wake up time, the money automatically deducts.
