The title made me think this will be a quiz about rarely known commands or feature in some IDEs.<p>That would be nice.<p>Instead it&#x27;s a quiz where there are 8 subjective barely descriptive words (such as good ui, has app, etc..) and 4 saas products that I barely heard of and never used.<p>So, nice idea of the aim was to get people to discover new SaaS products using a playful game.

It seems biased on SaaS tools. But I like it, found out about cool services :D

&quot;If you know http you know Sintatra&quot;. I wonder which option I should pick? Sinatra?<p>There&#x27;s a lot of those, especially with AWS products, where all but the product name is mentioned in the descriptions.<p>It&#x27;s fun to play though :). Also amazing how many things there are.

A lot of the ones I saw were a mix of way too vague to be guessable (&quot;easy to use&quot;, &quot;simple&quot;, &quot;pleasant&quot;) or way too obvious because of the clues (&quot;backed by Microsoft&quot; -- the only Microsoft one in here is C#) (&quot;If you know HTTP you know Sinatra&quot; -- guess it&#x27;s Sinatra then), with a couple that were just misleading (why is &quot;Scala&quot; given as a clue for a Git hosting platform?)<p>That being said, it&#x27;s a fun little quiz, and I definitely understand that getting good clues is hard. Writing good clues for a quiz by hand is hard enough; using scraped&#x2F;machine-collected clues makes it harder.

It&#x27;s like a reCaptcha to catch non-programmers :)

Hi, interesting quiz. I might discover some new tools here. I would suggest a &quot;I don&#x27;t know&quot; button.

&quot;took down many large sites when it failed&quot;<p>^ Describing AWS Lambda. May want to fix that one.

Cool. There are many tools which I don&#x27;t know about. My Current Score is: 3 :)

you should put the descriptions around an image of doge.
