In short, Userfly captures actual browsing sessions from real users as if you were looking over their shoulder. What we've found is that watching real users actually use your site can be remarkably insightful, so we built Userfly to accomplish that goal.

There's a screencast that will walk you through the basic functionality. Click on the demo button above it to mess around without having to sign up for an account.

Would love your feedback on the idea and its direction!

Would love to know what you guys think.

Beware of the discontinuity @ 6:44 :) Sorry, no public demo available (yet).

Several young (fresh out of college) engineers on my team that I interviewed last year impressed me with their intelligence by way of excellent algorithmic thinking. On my recommendation, they were hired. However, several months into the job, they continue to ask trivial (read: stupid) questions, and don't seem to want to figure things out on their own. Yet other engineers, who I was not impressed by during our interview, have absolutely exceeded my expectations. They have the spirit of a hacker; they dig deep into problems, learn everything within our code base, and are invaluable contributors. How do I identify those people during an interview? Why do my intuitions seem backwards?
