Hey guys, I hacked that thing up ^<p>A few words of background - I was always sort of frustrated how unbelievably dull the usual programming challenges are. I mean all those nearly pure CS-y things that make you invert binary trees and stuff.<p>They don't really translate well to what the real world offers, and having solved quite a few over the years, I've always been left with the thought of "what the hell did I actually learn?".<p>The answer was, usually, not much. It's all theoretical skills that fade away if not re-enforced, and that's what I found HARD, because at the end of the day, it all seemed like folly, especially compared to what I had to handle at work.<p>I had a few ideas, so I put it all together and released a set of 5 challenges. Take a peek inside.<p>I've always had this general idea of building a truly ambitious-but-also-down-to-earth community, so I hope to push it that way over time.<p>But like the sorry excuse of a landing page says, this is step zero - you have to start somewhere.<p>Would love some feedback!
