Atonicode — questionnaire

Thanks for applying. Eight short questions, about 15 minutes. Plain answers beat polished ones — we're looking for how you actually work, not how you interview. Word limits are hard. What happens next: a paid build task, then a final call.

1. About you. Name, email, city/timezone, GitHub, and one link to something you shipped that we can actually open.

2. Availability. Full-time or part-time? Hours per week you can commit for the next 3 months, earliest start date, and your hourly rate (PLN net, B2B).

3. Your AI dev loop, concretely. Which tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, other), what a typical feature looks like from first prompt to merged, and how you review what the agent wrote.

4. An agent got it past you. A time AI-written code shipped a bug you didn't catch. What did you change in how you work?

0 / 100 words

5. Last thing you shipped end-to-end alone. From scope to release. What was the hardest part of the release itself, not the code?

0 / 100 words

6. The one you know least. Pick from: Electron packaging + notarization, Expo/EAS store release, a Python agent runtime, Stripe webhooks. How would you get productive in it in one week?

7. What would you cut? The snippet below loads one JSON config file when the app starts. Tell us what you'd remove and why.

// config-loader.ts
interface LoaderOptions { retries?: number; backoffMs?: number; logger?: Logger; }
interface Logger { info(msg: string): void; warn(msg: string): void; error(msg: string): void; }

class ConfigError extends Error { constructor(msg: string, public readonly cause?: unknown) { super(msg); } }
class ConfigParseError extends ConfigError {}
class ConfigNotFoundError extends ConfigError {}

const defaultLogger: Logger = { info: console.log, warn: console.warn, error: console.error };

export async function loadConfig<T = unknown>(path: string, opts: LoaderOptions = {}): Promise<T> {
  const { retries = 3, backoffMs = 200, logger = defaultLogger } = opts;
  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= retries; attempt++) {
    try {
      logger.info(`loading config from ${path} (attempt ${attempt}/${retries})`);
      const raw = await fs.promises.readFile(path, "utf8");
      try { return JSON.parse(raw) as T; }
      catch (e) { throw new ConfigParseError(`invalid JSON in ${path}`, e); }
    } catch (e) {
      if (e instanceof ConfigParseError) throw e;
      if ((e as NodeJS.ErrnoException).code === "ENOENT") throw new ConfigNotFoundError(`no config at ${path}`, e);
      logger.warn(`attempt ${attempt} failed: ${(e as Error).message}`);
      if (attempt === retries) throw new ConfigError(`giving up after ${retries} attempts`, e);
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, backoffMs * 2 ** (attempt - 1)));
    }
  }
  throw new ConfigError("unreachable");
}
