is this a sign that finding developers is not that hard anymore, and they don't need to organize these competitions with the hiring budget?

- UncleOxidant 4y agoOr maybe they've laid off the group that was in charge of organizing these competitions? Or will soon?
- mredigonda 4y agoThey did, indeed, lay off the group in charge of organizing these competitions (or at least the Google Code Jam Program Manager). https://twitter.com/jonathanirvings/status/1622075521487208449 https://twitter.com/jonathanirvings/status/16220755214872084...

- paxys 4y agoProbably more a sign that these competitions don't help with hiring in any substantial way.
- mredigonda 4y agoI believe they do help, but certainly hiring doesn't seem to be a priority for them at the moment. It's strange that they decided to discontinue the entire competition instead of just cancelling this year's one, though.
