I'd call it an early experiment and what we could afford at the time to evaluate candidates for a SWE summer internship. Maybe other companies will like this approach and offer challenges that pay much better, with different setups & time horizons. Ex a user turnt his challenge into a 3-month contract-to-hire arrangement that paid $15k to the person who did the work & got the job.
Ultimately it's about getting the right signals. Real work produces the best signals. The rest of the mechanics are a WIP :)
Really appreciate your input, thanks a lot!!

- irf1 4y agosubmarine charade, that's pretty funny lol. The principle of engineers evaluating engineers based on real work remains the same, whether it's for an internship, flexwork, junior or senior roles, no?
