Thanks for the question.

They were not aware at the time. Since I published this blog, only people outside the Dev team has given me feedback.

But please note that the app just gave me a few options to start the process. I still had to choose, and skills was just one part of the decision. Of the options, team dynamics, existing teams, personalities, seniority, potential and personal situation informed the decision.

in the exact opposite of what's written

but how about this other feedback you received, what did these non-dev people think?

People thought that starting from principles was good and agreed that creating the app made the decision less biased (<-- note that I said "less").
