To submit a job application, please fork this repository and commit your entry in the programming challenge. Then send us a pull request [on github] with a comment that says you’re looking for a job.
Unless I misread this the challenge is only available for people who are publicly job hunting, which is a small percentage of eligible coders. I believe I've seen this before as "tweet us your resume".
- reedlaw 15y agoGood point. We got the idea for this challenge from this: http://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2012/one_hiring_filter_that_works.html http://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2012/one_hiring_filter_tha... We debated how to implement this and decided on using github because of the added bonus of being able to view github profiles as part of the screening process. If anyone's interested in a job but doesn't want to submit a public pull request, please send your contest submission to reed@smashingboxes.com and let us know if you want your code to be committed to our repo or not.
- dpritchett 15y agoThe problem sounds super fun. I spent an evening in Ruby Warrior [1] just for the fun of it a few months back and your challenge seems like it might be an even more fun version of that. I'm sure you'll get some good submissions.

- reedlaw 15y agoYes, ruby-warrior was an inspiration. The challenge is just a bare minimal RPG at the moment, but I hope to find time to improve it. To-dos: https://github.com/reedlaw/ruby-mmo/wiki https://github.com/reedlaw/ruby-mmo/wiki
