Ukrainian educational platform robot_dreams launched a contest for «shitcoders», in which the winner will be offered a cash prize for the strangest one-line code.
The company notes that they want to stir up the Ukrainian IT community and get creative in this way — and, in fact, it is a good marketing ploy, as the winner will be given the money only as a deposit that can be spent on any of the courses.
The jury included experts from the leading IT companies in Ukraine — GlobalLogic, SoftServe, and Universe Group. The winners will be chosen based on the following criteria: the interest of the idea, the originality of the implementation, and the correctness and efficiency of the code. The results will be announced on October 31.
