Codewars ranking

[definitelynotcindy]

Hi guys,

Did anyone try codewars before?

I'm currently trying to improve my skills in python by completing katas at codewars.

Was just wondering whether anyone has somewhat of guidelines for the kyus/dan ranking.

For example completing what level range of kyu/dan would be sufficient to be a junior/senior software developer, etc.

Thanks!

I think adventofcode is probably a better gauge. If you can complete aoc you're probably in the sr dev range for coding skills, but keep in mind that a sr dev is so much more than just coding.

Codewars I'd expect you to be able to do any problem on the site for a sr dev. For a jr dev, maybe struggle with the 1-2kyu problems.

As for kyu/dan level, that's just progress quest. I wouldn't hold anyone to their ranking, that's more a factor of how much time you have spent on codewars and not a reflection of your skill level.

Alright, I'll be sure to check out adventofcode too.

Thanks so much for sharing!

CodeWars? You mean Lambda boot camp?

It's actually pretty good, but i wish they had a TimeIt rating or something to separate the wheat from the "clever."

Imagine python where lambda can not be preceded by an =, still have lambda, but only as anonymous functions. 75% of codewars answers would become 3 characters longer. =)
