There is often beauty in good competition problems. And you can even learn something along the way.
- agolio 4y agoSure but regular kaggle competitions have all those qualities, usually with a $50K+ prize to boot. Google seems to have skipped out on the prize and substituted branding
- kuboble 4y agoI think there is a difference between the pro-like competitions with high emphasis on the top competitors where high prizes make sense to attract and reward the best. At the same time at least Google Code Jam which I participated in, is an event for the masses where while there are winners in the end the focus is on great experience of thousands students and recreationals who participate.
