As a CEO, this sounds like an incredibly broken company model. It’s obviously working in a lot of ways, but why would you make it so hard to get things done once you’re at scale?
I switched to a self-hosted (on AWS) inspircd instance with The Lounge running in front of it for friends earlier this year. It’s nice. The biggest issue was getting a native-like experience on iOS and Android phones, and discovering that safari doesn’t support notifications.
This is a very close-minded view. Professionals with psychological and/or therapeutic training can offer insights that you don’t have.
Would you refuse to work with a trainer if you were trying to improve at a physical activity? Would you reject a professional mentor in your field if it was on offer? Would you refute a doctor’s care if your physical health were impaired?
Also, it’s strange to refer to women as “females”, or treat all women as interchangeable, unless you run a crooked bar on a space station.
Interviewing is subjective. It’s about sitting down in a specific context and extrapolating, based on incomplete information, about a future set of conditions that will likely change when time catches up to them.
If we can start with the idea that interviews are a very blunt instrument, the process becomes at least somewhat compressible: it selects for people who recognize the parameters and perform well within that context. At best, that pattern-matches to success. At worst, it filters out talented folks who don’t interview well, but could code well.
