I work at a small startup trying to hire engineers and got tired of looking through resumes. As Joel Spolsky points out, they're not great indications of technical ability.
Instead, I decided to throw together a take-home challenge that applicants could access via an API. "If they can't solve the challenge, I don't need to see their resume," I told myself.
FizzBuzz.md is a better version of the solution I built for work. It lets applicants send questions and submissions to configurable email addresses via API so the email addresses aren't exposed directly. (Less spam, FTW)
