Hired Through GitHub: Part 1

Zed Industries hires developers through their open-source contributions on GitHub, offering an alternative to the traditional application process. The company identifies and reaches out to community members who consistently provide high-quality pull requests and engage with the team. The post shares the stories of two such hires: Junkui Zhang, who helped build Windows support, and Anthony Eid, who was instrumental in developing the debugger. This hiring path values consistent engagement, demonstrated code quality, and collaboration through methods like pair programming.
