Re^2: Coding challenges to PM

IMHO the tensions are related to the decline of traffic, which is causing frustrations.

Many core monks are also aging and start complaining about the difference to the "good old times".

Some dedicated a lot of time in the last decades to excel in answering questions.

But those questions which don't come anymore in sufficient numbers for their niche of expertise or are already answered when they show up. *

Offering coding challenges might be a way to

BUT a new section would need a lot of work which can't be justified without actual content.

Question:

So if you think to have a sufficient number of such challenges, why don't you just start posting them here?

IMHO that's the most efficient way to initiate such a new section on PM.

all valid points IMO. PM is the place where questions matter more than the answers! Developing a coding-challenge-section would be too much work as you say and I will not suggest that. But perhaps a separate XP count for coding challenges can be introduced and also a CPAN skeleton module for testing and benchmarching the answers must be made. I will soon post a challenge and see how it goes and take it from there	[reply]
