Perhaps! But for now, we're limiting access to those who are willing to contribute to the community. For those people, the information will be "free as in beer".

This is definitely true for the newest wave of SaaS, but the dirty secret is that pricing is almost always more flexible than you'd think. So far I've only come across two companies that seem to never bend their publicly listed pr

Some companies use a process where the candidate doesn't see the challenge until pressing "start", and then they have x hours to complete it. This seems to be far superior for obvious reasons: 1) It normalizes the submissions

I love Lambda's concept. I think aligning the interests of the school with the interests of the student are a fantastic evolution, and committing to only charge students for payback in the case that they have a positive outcome is grea
