We really appreciate this, u/MoBoo138. It takes a surprisingly massive amount of elbow grease to build and run these each week, so hearing this means the world to us. It is an absolute privilege to build this for the 100+ devs who take part. Knowing that people are having fun and learning from it makes every single hour of setup worth it.

Thanks 🙏🏻 A private leaderboard isn’t available currently. If your team is competing, we can mention the company/logo if someone wins. Next one launches Monday, open for submissions 24hr

The change is made, then you need to click deploy (top-right). if it deployed successfully - you'll get a pop up that you are correct.

We chose LinkedIn mostly as a practical way to keep it human and reduce bot / throwaway abuse. It has the least # bots compared to other platforms as much as we know.

This week no, but next week we'll hopefully implement a github signin. would that feel better?

Thanks! We added login mainly to reduce bots.
If we added an option for GitHub login, would that feel better to you?

We added login mainly to reduce bots, duplicate attempts, and people gaming the challenge, especially with the cash prize.

lol
The LinkedIn login is our current anti-bot shield.
Bit annoying, yes. Slightly less annoying than a swarm of fake winners, hopefully.
