Why isn't it? Any job where enough information can be known to know that someone should be fired or promoted is a job that can be quantitatively measured to some degree.
The entire point to the site is that programming challenges using STDIN/OUT is not how you write code. So yes, you can cheat - but who cares. At least you get to write real code. Not to mention the number of things that…
FYI Codewars has nothing to do with talent scouts. It's purpose is exactly the same as yours, except that it has content ranging from beginner to advanced. Did you build your own testing system for this? It seems to be…
I haven't tried React but I felt the complete opposite with Vue. I've never written more beautiful front-end code than what I've done in Vue. Did you use .vue files? Did you use a proper state tree like Vuex?
I'm a co-founder of Codewars. We hired 2 full time employees and a few contractors off of Codewars based off of their profiles. Beyond that, I know of a number of users who leveraged Codewars to obtain internships and…
Thanks for posting Sargas. There should be a flood of new languages coming soon now that the community is contributing to https://github.com/Codewars/codewars-runner-cli.
This argument doesn't make sense to me. Regardless of how the design is implemented (JS, HTML) - the designer shouldn't care because they are handing off the design to the developer as a pdf, sketch, etc. file. If…
Check out http://www.CodeWars.com It's the best one for doing challenges that use actual test cases. This challenge could easily be ported to that site (and I think there already are a few elevator ones)
Something that I need to call out here. In talking about how to handle the lack of fixed schemas within Mongo, the OP refers to using if/else blocks to get around field name changes. This shows a severe lack of…
"Achieve mastery through challenge" is the tagline. The idea here is to push yourself to solve problems you may have not attempted before, and to learn from others by seeing how they solved theirs. I've have personally…
You have to sign up through the homepage. It could be more clear.
I love how your comment about how noisey and pointless it is to mention the NSA on this post caused the entire comments section to become noise. I can't even find a non-NSA relevant post in this list.
Wow! We had no idea someone would be posting about us on HN today. We were not prepared. The site has been scaled up and it should working now. UPDATE: I was a bit hasty with my original comment. There was a regression…
The extra work that comes with consulting is well worth it. You earn more, are able to expense much more and at the end of the day you feel like you are running your own business (because you are). Understanding the…
JS is a prototype based language. I think the word prototype might be throwing you off but its a core concept within JavaScript.
All devs are welcome! We just had to start somewhere for the tests but the community is language agnostic.
