Or maybe companies shouldn't be outsourcing labor to applicants, asking them to do two weeks of work for free. This is not a reasonable take-home challenge by any means, for any company, and I'm glad they're being named and shamed I respect the OP for recognizing boundaries and sticking by them.

do you expect a company with $100MM in the bank to bank with 4000 different banks in order to keep their cash secure and insured?

> Either way, the merchant and VISA know your purchase history. Now, so does "privacy".com.

how does the merchant know your purchase history if you're using virtual cards with bogus info?

Hi! Tim from Repl.it here.

I used to be an avid c9 user in the classroom as well, but the startup time was killing me.

When is your 8-week program starting? Repl.it can do almost everything you want it to - our editors are fast to load, starting a server is as simple as opening a port, and we're extremely easy to use and almost feature complete. The only thing we're missing is a terminal, which is in the works (the alpha version is released, but may not work for RoR). I just want to get a sense of your timeframe so I can see if we can expedite this feature for you. Let me know if you have any questions!

Glad you're enjoying it! We're working on "live editing", which is the ability to see people write their code on their repl in real time. Let me know if you're interested in testing it out early! [email protected] :)

Hi all, Repl.it employee here. It's worth noting that the author of the guest blog post took on this project as part of his EPQ, or Extended Project Qualification, an exploratory project undertaken by some high schoolers (equivalent) in the UK. Repl.it took no part in the origins or the directions of his work; Ollie just chose Repl.it as his tool of choice. He learned the concepts, tools, and code on his own.

Regardless of the outcome of his research, the fact that a sixteen year old felt empowered to tackle such an advanced topic and was able to teach himself the tools to dive into it is pretty damn cool.

Incorporating bash access is our next step. :) We know a lot of seasoned users will want to use it as part of their dev setup.

Repl.it allows each teacher account to have up to 200 students for free! Is this enough to cover all your students? If not, reach out to me at [email protected] and we can work something out.
