The worst platform in competitive programming
By BarkovBG, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hi! I have some problems with platform HackerRank. I have received the email from them with suggestion to work on freelance basis. I have made some tasks for them and they have successfully approve them. Then, by agreement, they had to pay for the prepared task, But they just start ignoring me.

This situation doesn't upset me. But I become very angry when they write me after 3 months after this situation again. Just be careful with this platform and don't work with them!

Mostly unrelated but just curious, do you know where your proposed problems would go on the site? I've noticed that HackerRank's Algorithms and Data Structures problemsets have a surprising number of CP problems if you sort by hard difficulty, mostly from CP contests prior to 2016. If they're commissioning you to write more CP problems, does that mean they intend on running contests again?

Looking at the title, I thought someone is again angry from CodeChef for not running plagiarism checks.

    I expected the same. I myself am pissed about that. At the near end of the contest some douche just uploads the solutions on youtube and the number of submissions skyrockets. Unacademy ruined CodeChef.

      CodeChef_admin, kindly do something regarding this. Now the cheaters don't even try to change a single character in their copied submission as they know plagiarism checks won't be done.

        If the admin is on Codeforces then I think it'll better to tag so that he can shed some light on the issue.

Can't say of worst, but Codeforces is surely one of the best ;)
