We've had over 1.3K candidates apply to the 3 open positions at Mastodon so far, which is very exciting, but getting through them as such a small team is taking its time. Getting somewhere though!
@Gargron that's impressive :-) and I wouldn't want to be a HR person going through the pile of resumes. I'm pretty sure that most of the candidates are people with very strong programming backgrounds and it will be really hard to pick the right one. Good luck !
