An open source technical interview framework?

Hey all,

First off Happy New Year.

Over these holidays I've been reading a bunch of posts and tweets about how technical interviews are broken. As someone who does hiring, I have to agree. It is a sucky situation for all parties. I've been thinking about a OS framework for technical interviews.

Need some advice if this is a crazy idea or not? I personally think it could be helpful for companies to adopt ideas from the community to make things better and fairer (less bias). While empowering candidates to follow a path which shows their best self!

Still really really early, with some scaffolding.
But here is what I have on the go: https://fdosani.github.io/better-interviews/

Appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks!

Looking for feedback/help on locopy

Hi all,

First post here. Some how I stumbled upon dev.to and this seems like a great spot to learn and collaborate! Wanted to share a project I've been working on. It isn't anything fancy but would love any feedback/help as this is my real first foray into maintaining a package.

locopy helps abstract some of the tedious work of getting data in and out of Amazon Redshift. It helps with getting data in/out of S3, and building the COPY/ UNLOAD to execute. It lets the user chose their DBAPI package (psycopg2, pg8000, etc.) vs forcing one on them.

I'm currently doing some refactoring, and also hoping to add more databases which I can support (Snowflake, Postgres, etc.)

Appreciate any thoughts, or help!
