Ask HN: How many developers at your company are highrated competitive programmers

3 pointsby plicensealmost 10 years ago
I am just interested in knowing that percentage of developers excel at competitive programming. Also interested in the reverse statistic which is about how well competitive programmers perform in a real programming scenario. At my company, I only know of two people who are "Yellow" rated on Topcoder.

0. No one cares about useless tests. Just spend your time doing what you love and building cool stuff.

I can't say I have ever heard anyone bring up Topcoder in a professional environment. If you are interested in it, then by all means, compete. But don't think it's going to help you make any extra money in life.

I've heard that MemSQL and imo.im have a lot of rated competition programmers (and in fact target that segment of developers).
