I think you just won the challenge.

This is a very interesting discussion. Would love to hear your thoughts on our London based startup www.Prehash.com which is going in a similar direction. Companies can host organization specific coding challenges on our website and developers apply by solving them. There is no time limit for developers and no one is looking over your shoulder. The only thing is that each time you run the test we take a snapshot in a github repo. Any feedback is welcome! Cheers.

I would like to know how it is different from the likes of different website which seemingly do the same thing - HackerRank, Codility, HackerEarth etc., Mind explaining what is it that you are planning to do different?

Hi bleak, Prehash helps companies to attract and engage with developers through coding challenges. Codility is a pure code testing site IMHO. HackerEarth according to crunchbase provides a SaaS application to do automated assessment of technical and logical skills of candidates HackerRank is going more in our direction with coding challenges to engage with and find candidates as opposed to testing them.

The link isn't working for me: Error establishing a database connection

Just checked it, and it worked for me.

My first thought: it sounds like you are subconsciously worried that there is a bubble in the market...

Interesting article! I remember watching the mythbusters episode on it. It all depends on what's more efficient routing wise. Time is money. Not all left turns are bad...
