The number of presumptions in your reply is astounding. Based on replies and the blog post, OP clearly has projected the best of intentions. This is classic owning of a clown show hiring process and the hiring wing of Codecademy by the OP. I say "well done."
You've misunderstood. I was directly answering the question in the comment that I was replying to. I know nothing about the OP's situation and said nothing about it.
