Hey -- I work at Asana.

Great idea! Took a task to add more resources to learn from to the doc.

Hmm, the way we framed that is confusing. Thanks for the feedback! To be sure, our goal is to accurately assess what your day-to-day contributions would be like, and simulation is a really good way of eliminating accidental bias in that process. To that end, we do have every engineer submit actual code during the interview process, and we generally avoid white-board programming in favor of higher-level discussions (that may also use the whiteboard). But perfect simulation is possible (and time-consuming), so we've tried to focus on the higher order bits.

What's your primary tech stack?

We're in the middle of rewriting our stack to look like this:

- TypeScript web code - Using React - Connecting to a custom, to-be-opensourced reactive datastore written in Scala called LunaDb: https://blog.asana.com/2015/05/the-evolution-of-asanas-luna-... - Using to Amazon RDS (hosted MySQL) and Redis as our primary backing stores - Running on top of kubernetes, docker, AWS
