#Hi

Agni can we do ranked gooning instead
tulip shale
But since every game is unique AI won't help you "solve" the game
grizzled flint
Not bad idea tho
tulip shale
Beyond just first principles
grizzled flint
But since every game is unique AI won't help you "solve" the game
So how are u competing against others
plain ginkgo
I don’t like the competitive aspect personally
I think strategy games could be cool but they don’t need to be competitive
tulip shale
So how are u competing against others
You build an algorithm to play the game, so do other contestants
And you literally play ranked matches against them
This is just for OA
And then in interview you explain how you interated your algorithm
It's a super easy number for HR though
They can set thresholds
grizzled flint
So it’s the same game
plain ginkgo
Yeah leetcode isn’t uniquely cheatable
tulip shale
Like everyone with elo above 1400 advances
It's harder to cheat on this OA
Since you can't just say "Claude solve this"
plain ginkgo
Since you can't just say "Claude solve this"
Why not
plain ginkgo
Because the game each week is super unique?
Like each leetcode question?
tulip shale
Like there's literally no research on any of the games
grizzled flint
Idt this is viable due to the sheer time commitment either
OAs we’re min an hour
But like
tulip shale
Idt this is viable due to the sheer time commitment either
The time commitment is literally 1 week a year
For all your interviewing needs
grizzled flint
The time commitment is literally 1 week a year
So it’s just 1 competition?
I don’t like 1 competition determining ur fate for the entire recruiting cycle
minor trail
I feel like this is only possible at high level roles like quant though like how many people are genuinely going to beat algorithmic gpt-5 solution
tulip shale
So it’s just 1 competition?
Nah, we run the competition every week
So you can compete again if you want
plain ginkgo
I like the attempt to think of a system that tests more relevant skills than leetcode monkeying but I don’t think this is it
grizzled flint
Nah, we run the competition every week
This is just devolving into the inverse issue of 1 competition
minor trail
I like the attempt to think of a system that tests more relevant skills than lee...
i agree with this take
tulip shale
Idk, we're just trying to build the next gen of interviewing
And I think Leetcode is simply not it
You have to think big if u want to see change
plain ginkgo
Idk, we're just trying to build the next gen of interviewing
It’s an interesting problem for sure
tulip shale
The games could be simple too, so you don't spend too many hours grinding.
Like, you open up the OA, then get 3 hours to code something up
A simple game could be minesweeper but you're the person placing the mines
^ ideas like that

np hard games only
