Coding challenge and practice sites

Anyone on hacker rank?

Or leetcode?
https://leetcode.com/

Fschmidt, should you create a similar site to challenge them?

What is the point?  Programming is a useless skill unless it is combined with marketing so that one can start a business.  Getting a job as a programmer is a bad idea because modern programming is horrible.

I am not sure how true this is.  I have 2 programming business ideas, so I hope it isn't true.  I think there are always new niches to try.

About Luan and numpy, Luan is based on Java and I assume there must be some lumpy equivalent in Java, so it should be easy to add an API to Luan for that.  By building Luan on Java, I get access to the huge number of libraries available in Java.  The only real problem for Luan is that it is good, and modern programmers are vile human scum who hate everything that is good.  If it weren't for this, Luan would become popular.

New software does become popular.  Just look at TikTok.  It became popular because it is the worst imaginable crap, just what appeals to modern scum.

How about as a way of challenging programmers to keep the skills sharp. Give problems and purpose to good programmers so they can program for god

Why don't they program something useful instead?  I mean God forbid that anyone would actually do something useful.  Here are a few ideas: http://www.reactionary.software/needed.html
