They're not "experienced engineers" but I could see this being useful at the new grad/early career level - where people can code (and leetcode) but there's maybe a need for a more guided class-like experience, especially when it comes to breaking down tasks and working on a larger piece of software.
- sarupbanskota 4y agoGood assessment, lines up quite accurately with what we're seeing. In our post, when we said "experienced engineers", we meant more "folks with programming experience" and less "pro" users :) We've updated the post. When we first started out, we didn't pay any attention to guidance at all, and instead focused entirely on the "challenge" aspect. At that time, it was less common for early career engineers to try out the product. We've evolved a bit since, and now it's common for us to also see early career professionals, support engineers at devtool companies, bootcamp grads, etc. From time to time, we come across Engineering Managers who'll do our modules as a way to "stay in touch" with programming (and picking up a new language they'd been itching to learn — e.g Rust). We're probably not suitable for someone new to programming, but otherwise all other levels are welcome and find value.
