When engineers change jobs as frequently as restaurant workers, while startups take 3-6 months to hire a new contributor, does any work actually get done half the year?
Between June 15 - August 15 2021 we spent ~$3k to award 33 PRs to our student developer team. Before that we also spent $600 to qualify our student "bounty hunters" using a paid screening challenge on Algora.
Earlier this year we decided to hire summer interns. We wanted to know how well someone would perform on the job, so we gave our top candidates a real paid task from our backlog.
