Luna conducted roughly 20 interviews on Google Meet with the camera off. Hired 2 full-time employees after 5-15 minute calls, and rejected CS and physics students for lacking retail experience.

power is something that draws 00:10:21 in the wrong kinds of people like moths to a flame.

pronunciation cues in an individual’s speech communicate their social status more accurately than the content of their speech.

reciting seven random words is sufficient to allow people to discern the speaker’s social class with above-chance accuracy.

For this study, researchers conducted technical interviews of 48 computer science undergraduates and graduate students. Half of the study participants were given a conventional technical interview, with an interviewer looking on. The other half of the participants were asked to solve their problem on a whiteboard in a private room. The private interviews did not require study participants to explain their solutions aloud, and had no interviewers looking over their shoulders. Researchers measured each study participant’s interview performance by assessing the accuracy and efficiency of each solution. In other words, they wanted to know whether the code they wrote would work, and the amount of computing resources needed to run it. “People who took the traditional interview performed half as well as people that were able to interview in private,” Parnin says. “In short, the findings suggest that companies are missing out on really good programmers because those programmers aren’t good at writing on a whiteboard and explaining their work out loud while coding.”
