Strongly disagree! Coding competitions are fun and educating. That's always been the only reason I've done them -- well, and also to get together with friends, and to have something to feel good about. Using them in recruiting is something entirely external to the sport (and yes, I know Codejam was categorised as "recruiting" by Google). I'm incredibly disappointed that Codejam is going away. I wanted more t-shirts.
