It doesn’t really matter… My point is that we’re still in a world where such projects are highly unlikely to become sustainable, no matter how popular they get.

10th most downloaded Homebrew formula and the maintainer makes ~$600 / month. Not very encouraging for people who are thinking to follow the same path…

It’s been done already. Have a look at Quest for Tetris: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/11880/build-a-w...

Hey everyone, I am a mid-career Software Engineer seeking research assistant / academic / industry opportunities in computational biology which can help me gain domain knowledge so I can transition my career in this field.

I would like to explore topics such as cancer immunotherapy, genome engineering, epigenetic clocks and the underlying mechanisms of biological ageing. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you're interested in bouncing around project ideas or starting a collaboration.

My take on it is that instead of spending most of the initial interview getting the candidate excited only to disappoint them afterwards, it would be far more helpful to give them some offline material beforehand that they can read / watch and then use the interview to get a strong feel of their experience, abilities and interest in the role. In practice, hiring managers are biased to present an overly-positive / exciting view of the work that the new hire will actually end up doing and it's so demoralising to start a job with high expectations only to be disappointed soon after.

Personally, I completely refuse to do any form of live / timed coding test but might accept a homework assignment with a very generous deadline if I feel it's well aligned with something I'm willing to spend personal time on, assuming that they're not satisfied with what I already have up on GitHub (although I'd expect a good explanation for why that's the case). Otherwise, I'm more than happy to discuss past projects, system architecture, API design, development practices and so on.

Consider avoiding 3rd party screening solutions and put in the effort up front to talk to candidates in detail. Asking people to go through such hoops before they can even talk to a tech person from the company will put many good people off.
