We want it to be playable by people who have demanding commitments like families, jobs, etc. This affects our level design (the first six will actually time out after 30 minutes; they're beatable with the right script in seconds or minutes after you get it working or by hand in ~10 with play at least as good as mine) and how we go about executing on the business.
Ultimately the mechanics of our matchmaking come down to "Starfighter spits a heck of a lot of signal about you at Thomas/Erin/Patrick; we try to decide if it makes sense to introduce to to clients and, if so, to which." All of us are working parents. We will certainly not penalize people for prioritizing piano lessons over being one of the first 5 people to crack a new level.
I won't commit to "I'll never look at time between a level is first opened and when it is solved" but, as somebody who has fed his family with code for as long as I've had a family, that strikes me as being among the least interesting things I could possibly learn about an engineer's ability.
- thenomad 11y agoPresumably you're allowed multiple tries, on the challenges that time out?
- patio11 11y agoYes -- you get infinite resets almost anywhere. (They're presently rate limited to about ~5 a minute.)
- jscottmiller 11y agoAfter para 1, I was going to ask "what's to stop someone from tossing a solution in a pastebin and sharing it around?" Related, "what's to stop someone from sharing the questions ahead of time?" From the second, it sounds like you guys will seek out the top performers and weed out the bozos. I like it! Are you looking at a traditional recruiter fee model or something else? Apologies if this is posted somewhere else.
- yaur 11y agoThe big problem isn't some bozo posting it to pastebin, it's shady "recruiters" that are set up to make their candidates look awesome. This is extremely difficult to detect without on-site validation.
- trentmb 11y agoI'm dumb and slow- can I still submit a solution to know if I'm correct, even if I get a dingus label?
