New idea - JS algorithm challenge
daviddias opened this issue · comments
Would it be fun if we once a month gathered to solve some code puzzles with JS, like mini 2 hour hackathons, everyone works in pairs to find the solution and in the end everyone would present their solution?
We can even have several levels, so that everyone feels welcome to join.
I like it, but sometimes puzzles are too abstract and I prefer to compete in more real terms, say, the first guy who builds a Facebook crawler and crawl through the most people living in portugal wins or something like that (that specific example may equate to a bit more than 2 hours (........actually not right ?) but I can try to think about simpler ones).
What kind of puzzles did you have in mind ?
@joaojeronimo that sounds also like fun! I was thinking about algorithm challenges, that have specific goal, input and output.
We can always have several days for different challenges: "Algorithm Challenge" "Reverse Engineering/Hack Challenge"
"Reverse Engineering/Hack Challenge" days sound awesome to me 😃
REVERSE ENGINEERING HACK CHALLENGE SOUNDS AWESOME LET'S DO IT sorry for the upper caps
So when is REHC ?
(another cool challenge is set out to build some kind of web service that does one task and then we benchmark all of them and see which one has the highest req/s or latency something similar)
(I'm can offer a 32GB 4th gen i7 server we can all run the code in, so hardware doesn't interfere with scores)
