Dear gods I hate the HackerRank interface. I like the theory, but the practice is maddening. I guess as long as it's only used for basic "is this candidate lying" sort of tests... whatever.

* No interactive debugger. I get why - it's difficult to implement. But it's still bad.
* It has asserts, which is good, but if one fires, it then doesn't show you your stdout, so you don't get to see the debug log of what DID work.
* Autobrackets drive me nuts. Can't turn them off. You can turn off autocomplete (which is actually useful!) but not autobrackets.

* I couldn't find any way to exit autocorrect except hitting Escape, which takes you out of fullscreen, which some interviews require, so does that flag it as "hey stop cheating" I don't know.
* Because of the fullscreen requirement, doesn't seem to be any way to check basic things like the names of string conversion functions unless you can guess/remember the names and infer from autocorrect suggestions? Very unnatural environment.
It's just all half-baked.

I guess it's a level playing field? Everybody's equally angry with it? But still...

@mcc the key thing to remember about vampires is they're weak to many of the same things that people with mental illnesses and/or marginalized people are also weak to so if you just shout UR A VAMPIRE??? OMG THAT IS WONDERFUL I AM AN ALLY I AM GOING TO BE SOOO SUPPORTIVE OMG they'll probably be like I need to leave

Less than 10 days until SFSCon and the Fediverse track we are organizing there. Looking forward to many interesting presentations from technology to public policy, from community building to the future of the Open Social Web.
See you in Bolzano?

@mcc you can console yourself by listening to the Socialist Vampire Conspiracy musical videos.
