Seing code is the way to go in job interviews, and in my opinion can't be compared to solve puzzles, etc.

Thanks to Open Source right now there are tons of public code from people, that's why we have created masterbranch.com a service to aggregate, analyze, and list all you OS but also with the option of include non-open source code (the code is not visible if the project is not open source).

Also, the idea of open sourcing a component, a side project, etc. and ask the candidates to contribute I think is a great way to have an idea about how they work.

Hi. The idea is great, but I ran into some issues.

- it took me quite a long time to find the 'Claim all your identities' - it should be in the same place I edit my profile.

- after I claim one account I don't have a link to go back and claim other accounts

- something is wrong with handling bitbucket projects, it sees only 2 of my projects

- if I go to 'Claim all your identities' for the second time, I don't see a list of my claimed accounts.

- no link to jump to my profile in the profile menu (top-right), ther should be one

- "Your profile is 40% complete" 40% of what?? it begs for a 'learn more'

- javascript ranks higher in the chart than python although it has less projects (even from the small number it recognizes) and less code

Too confusing.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to add it to our backlog.

- About the bitbucket projects, maybe the crawler didn't get all the links, you can send us projects to add going to "Missing projects? Add a project"

- About the link to go to your profile, there is a tab named "go to your profile" on the main nav-bar

- The progress bar needs explanations and also some work because is not working properly right now.

- The chart is ordered by the number of files. Probably we should order it using the number of files, commits, and the time but right now this's the order and maybe this is why is confusing to you.

Again, thanks for your feedback, appreciated.
