That sounds really interesting. If you’re open to it, I’d be curious what the high-level architecture looks like (what gets embedded, how you rank results)?

I found myself nodding in agreement and patting myself on the back about not consuming SFVs, until I realized that I had just read the abstract and closed the page.

> Rust is not mature enough to support ML out of the box ... If you want to serve your Xgboost or deep learning model then Rust is not the right choice (yet).

Would have liked to hear more about the parenthetical 'yet' even if its just links to other blog posts.

What is the point of this comment? No process should be discussed or improved as long as some other comparable but worse process exists elsewhere in the world? We should hold a moment of silence for the lawyers at the start of any posting about hiring practices in tech?

> there is an optional part at the end for testing more tricky concepts.

If the candidates are anything like me then any optional or bonus features will be considered mandatory. I have no way of knowing what percentage of other candidates do the optional work and so I have no way of accurately assessing the risk of not doing the optional work myself. I will ignore your suggested timebox if the optional work will take longer and then I'll be a little pissed off at you for how long your take home assignment took me.

> Don’t read too much into blog posts.

"Trust me, not other people" says random person on the internet, providing no evidence to support their claim.

> Having done LeetCode, I’m not even sure how a senior could justify spending 2 months doing all of the problems full-time.

So not only are they lying, but if they aren't lying they are incompetent. Got it.

I like the idea of this list but in practice there seems to be a lot of 'hiring without witheboards *if you happen to interview with the same team that I did and if the hiring manager for that team hasn't moved on since I interviewed there 4 years ago.'
