Learning to code on AppSignal
What do you like best about the product?
I like how there is a large variety of questions on code signal. For a programming language that you have basic knowledge of and understand, CodeSignal is a great resource. For a language you are trying to learn from scratch, it is pretty difficult.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how there isn't direction or a logical learning plan for coding. Perhaps this website is meant for intermediate coders, but I would have appreciated more resources on learning how to code or the basics of the language so I could keep up with the lesson plans.
You can see it in the voting systems, where some receive many more dislikes than likes. Sometimes it's due to the wording of the question or for me a lack of direction on what the question wants us to learn.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving questions using algorithms. I really like how you can see other peoples answers and improve your own code.
I've tried MySQL and Javascript.

Almost Perfect!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is extremely intuitive and beginner friendly. Codesignal was my go-to platform when I started out my competitive programming journey and it helped me a lot. The question difficulty is quite well balanced ranging from the easiest to the most difficult. The short contests (tourney) are really great as you can jump into a contest anytime you like and start practicing against others.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some things I would recommend to make this platform even better. Not all questions have a proper editorial and it can be quite annoying sometimes to spend valuable time trying to decipher someone else's solution so proper editorials for all questions would be really helpful. Some longer contests held weekly could be added along with the tourneys.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly use CodeSignal for improving my solving speed so I usually compete in the ongoing tourney contests which force you to think fast and debug prewritten code which is really helpful.
Wanna Learn Nuances of Programming? Go for CodeSignal
What do you like best about the product?
The Basic programs started really basic and as the levels increased so do the interest and challenge. Really nice logical questions which make us think deep and solve.
The IDE provided was really best among others in the market. The run time and error showcasing was really good and easy to understand.
The comment section provided a lot of hints if the question is difficult.
The split up of the questions into various sections is admirable, the levels get increased with each section. Naming convention of the sections is self explanatory and interest provoking.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the questions are repeated in the core and in intro. Few questions running in Python3 were executing fine in my MacBook Pro but taking more time to execute in the IDE and getting failed for time constraints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Python3 Programs. I am getting used to the very basics of the language. Earlier i kept myself away from List Comprehensions, Bit wise operators etc. But now I have become a master in those topics.
Earlier I was a mediocre programmer and code signal made me an expert in the logic thinking and problem solving with minimal line of codes. Earlier I was writing codes with more number of lines but now I have started compressing the codes and making them more readable and easy to understand.
This really helps me in writing production codes in shorter time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely use CodeSignal if you want to explore other side of coding
The best gym for coders to keep up a fresh and sharp coding skill
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is super clean and it's super fast to start solving a problem. You have many options with different sections where beginners or experts can have fun. I like on my free times picking one problem and solving it just for fun. It helps me to keep my algorithm solver skill sharp. I like the gamification experience it gives you, with points and challenges that makes you wanting to solve more and more challenges.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss a dedicated section to learn algorithms, with videos, tutorials and advices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Company Challenges and Challenges are my favorites. The last problem I solved that I liked most was blockStorageRewrites for PureStorare company
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Regardless your intentions CodeSignal can help you, even when just for fun or when you are struggling to rock a coding interview.
Ideal for testing candidates
What do you like best about the product?
CodeSignal is very easy to use, super fast to get started with and has saved our recruiting team countless hours since we've implemented it.
What I like the most is the ability to put the assessments at the very top of the funnel and find candidates we wouldn't have considered otherwise. It's not only the right thing to do but has helped us scale our top of the funnel without spending a lot of time and money with expensive recruiting agencies. We just advetise our job posting on all platforms, get thousands of candidates and then ask them to complete a General Coding Assessment through CodeSignal.
This way we are not discriminating using Resumes and giving everyone a fair chance while hiring an awesome team of engineers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major but I'd love to see Machine Learning certifications on CodeSignal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Saving recruiting time spent on unqualified candidates.
- Increasing our top of the funnel by tapping into candidate pools we weren't considering before.
- Increasing diversity in the team.

If you are hiring for engineers at a scale you have to consider using CodeSignal. It makes life much easier.
My Favorite Code Practice Site!
What do you like best about the product?
I have used quite a few code practice sites and as my title says, CodeSignal is my favorite. I find the UI to be quick and easy to understand. I like that CodeSignal doesn't just have random user-generated challenges but also has guided ones as in the Arcade, Interview Practice, and Company Challenges. I also really like the code score feature as it gives you a general reference as to your current knowledge and whether you are improving over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had more learning reference material, not necessarily on specific languages but for general data structures and algorithms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do a combination of Arcade, Random Challenges, and Interview Practice. I find that all of them help to keep me sharp for interviews as well as cut down on the amount of time I end up stuck on a specific problem when coding real work. Also, as I am a mostly self-taught developer, I find the topics covered in the interview practice section invaluable.
when your are beginner than this site is most appropriate because it takes you from step to step
What do you like best about the product?
i mostly like the IDE of the site and different types of challenges every day and you can talk to the people all over the world and know how the programming affects them and us . its clean and friendly environment to learn coding
What do you dislike about the product?
it makes you using only of the method not anything else and when implementing the whole algorithm on the other IDE's
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it keeps me punctual and to solve everyday a problem
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its the most valuable site for beginners that are trying to learn from scratch and it helped me a lot when i was not able to understand anything about the programming
A beautiful - well structured application for every developer to spend time on
What do you like best about the product?
Beautiful user interface, well structured categories of problems, real interview problems to solve from big companies, tournaments to compete with other developers, experience / level ranking system, straight communication with other developers through the application itself, reviewing others' people code in problems you face too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that the daily challenges have become ridiculously easy and there is a lack of challenging daily problems now, I also liked the "dev vs dev" concept (those times were codesignal was "codefights"), which do not exist anymore since the business plan of the platform has changed as I read.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CodeSignal as a brain-teaser that helps me keep my mind in shape and my algorithmic skills, I also enjoy solving Interview challenges to realize the level I am. Code review of other developers solution is also something I enjoy, it is very interesting to see how other people think on the same problem and the coding style they apply to solve it.
Codesignal definitely helped me prepare for my interviews
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the problems are real interview problems. Afterwards, you can see what the other solutions are like.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be a timer on each question so I know how long I spent on it. There also needs to be a better than social scoring mechanism for the past answers, some answers are better but because they are newer they don't get the votes they need to be the highest answer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It for sure helped me prepare for interviews and let me know where my strengths and weaknesses were.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It does feel a bit like the platform is dying, and the questions need refreshing. However still pretty good.

- Love the daily challenge and tournaments mode that give you new problems to solve on a regular basis
What do you dislike about the product?
- The daily challenge focuses on the length of the solutions, I'd love to see different "modes" where you can get more complex problems or focus on improving the performance of problems you've already solved in the past
- The social features can be improved a bit to make it easier to track and participate in discussions and conversations
- I'd love to see more tracks
- I'd love to see editorial content that goes in details on some of the common challenges or offers information on common cs topics

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been able to improve my algorithms and data structures problem solving ability considerably since I started using CodeSignal. I love the gamified experience, which keeps me engaged and coming back to solve more challenges every day. I've used similar websites in the past (leetcode, hackerrank, geeksforgeeks etc), but CodeSignal has been the most polished and engaging option for me so far. Keep up the great work!
