Hi HN!

We built openround.ai - an assessment platform to hire AI native engineers. On OpenRound, engineers build a project or solve a problem using AI. This replaces a usual coding round/take home assessment.

I believe coding assessments measure who is good at passing interviews, not who is actually a good engineer.

We want to flip that by showing how engineers actually work on a real problem.

2 interesting things we solve -

1. Designing assessments and environments that are not one shotted by AI.

2. Differentiating bw a software engineer who uses AI well and a pure vibecoder.

Would love for you folks to try it and hear any feedback that you have.

Also here to answer any questions about problems, evaluations, market insights, etc.

I'll check this out. I have a background in design, but lately have been creating sites with claude. I've been learning a lot about optimizing a site and using the backend. Currently sticking with free services, so optimizing a site to not run out of backend resources quickly is a skill that I am developing.

Love the idea. Don't love that you require my email to test things out.
