Gave it a quick try to find the LinkedIn profile for an email. Worked well. Curious to know what are the other use cases from a founder's pov?

Is this a good evaluation criterion anymore? Also, did you allow the candidate to use the internet?

Most of us do not remember the exact syntax for everything despite having coded in that language/framework for years.

Thanks so much! Curious, why didn't HN flag and let the creation of dup thread?

This looks like a solid first step. I am also teaching my 8yo a bit of coding, starting with HTML but he complains about a lot of typing, he is slow in typing so it becomes painful for him.

Did your daughter face this problem?

This model has some benefits too just that you have to live near the office or perhaps 1 day commute shouldn't feel too bad.

Do you mean a hybrid model where you go to office once a week and rest days are remote?

There's a lot of debate around remote work vs In-office work. Many companies have started opening offices and forcing employees to come back in the name of productivity but I feel people are more productive at home with some discipline and better practices.

Remote work has many challenges. We're a startup (16 employees) so the challenges differ from the challenges faced by big tech companies.

I think there’s no right or wrong answer here. Either option has pros and cons. With In-person office work, it is hard to go into a focussed more, there are many distractions, commute takes away a lot of time & energy, etc.

While remote working requires a lot of self-discipline, it is very easy to get dragged into many work chores, hard to communicate with fellow teammates, and some folks also do moonlighting which is against many company policies.

We follow certain practices to make our remote setup work and it has worked beautifully so far So I think remote work is here to stay and many startups can adopt remote work to be more efficient, and move fast.

Requestly founder here. If this is a third-party site then you don't have control over the behaviour of service worker.

Your bet is to use a browser extension to override the response of that specific API and sort of change the response.

PS - Why do you think this is an overkill solution?
