Got accepted in the follow up email (were rejected in the original email) with https://skillmint.com - One-stop shop for people to learn and improve their skills in sport, music and art
We've got a rejection email and then a couple of hours later a follow up email saying that there was an error and we were accepted! Super stoked about this opportunity. If anyone is interested, we're here - https://skillmint.com
We've just recently launched a feature to be able to book private lessons from local teachers and coaches through our platform (that's in addition to what our platform already allowed to do which was to be able to find local activity partners on the same level to practice your skills with).
We've already got a few dozens of private teachers signed up, but now it's time to turn to demand side and start bringing clients to them. We're kind of trying different things now with not much success. Any input on the recommended approach is much appreciated!
yeah, that was for 2016... but I did hear that they still do it, it's just not formal and you have to follow their Twitter account to find out, not sure if that's true...
I completely agree with this article. In fact, I believe everyone who is in tech department, no matter the seniority (manager, director, even VP sometimes) should still be able to code. Really depends on the size of the company, obviously in a big company VP wouldn't be able to code just because he or she wouldn't have much time to do it with other day to day tasks.
I am Director of Engineering in a small company and I still code a lot. Our CTO codes as well.
I've seen some engineering managers who not only do not have CS degree but never coded and were hired just to manage engineers which I will never understand.
