What I do with such is I copy-paste the challenge scaffolding to my local IDE to make the solution. Once done I copy-paste the resulting code back to the web interface for a run. Worked well during my off-line challenges years ago. Otherwise I would refuse coding over any cr*py interface, especially live coding.
- alecbz 5y agoFWIW $employer is also okay with candidates working in their local environment if they're comfortable screen sharing. IME most people seem to prefer coderpad though, even after being nudged that using a local environment may be more helpful for writing tests.
- baggachipz 5y agoI considered that too; in this instance, I had 7 minutes to complete the "challenge". That wasn't enough time to copy over the test cases and get things configured properly for that. Still terrible that we have to even try to work around these terrible interfaces.
- andrew_ 5y ago> 7 minutes There are so few areas of software engineering where a time limit like that is remotely realistic. What a gas.
