Is TopCoder dying? Shall I start participating in Topcoder SRMs in late 2019?

Revision en2, by nocriz, 2019-09-26 11:21:36

Topcoder has been a famous competitive programming platform and I've heard of Topcoder for years. I've never participated in Topcoder though. Like many of my friends, I started to really participate in online rounds since 2018, and Topcoder's fame already seemed to fade.

Last year, I did attempt to participate in a SRM, but I met various difficulties. Possibly I'm not clever enough but participating in SRM is indeed much complicated than participating a Codeforces Round.

  • The java applet was confusing.
  • I didn't know where to find the time of the next SRM. Although I saw posts of SRM, it is usually the day after the round.
