Nice little challenge, it's a tree-based request system that requires you to renew sessions and work within the rate-limit, but once you get all the letters you can effectively rewrite what was intended. "worthy" indeed.

While I was able to get all the letters of the secret message, I can't understand how to decrypt it :( if you did, could you give any suggestions? :) Indeed this was fun!

I tried to apply, but the website was so awful I eventually gave up. I made 3 or 4 attempts, and each time the form would fail on some BS validation problem, and lose my input.

Please don't use ASCII art or other visual gimmicks in these threads. That one's cute, but it's not fair to the other posters.

Hey everyone, sorry if this is a bit off-topic. Every month I scan the previous months’ Who Is Hiring thread and build stats around the most popular languages. Hope someone finds this useful. Constructive feedback welcome. http://langstats.azurewebsites.net/

I spent too much time in your hiring process: I did the screening, the home assignment and the technical interview with the co-founder (Yann, which is the poster I think). But you didn't took the time (1 min) to give me an answer or to follow back after the technical interview! You said we'll get back to you in 3 days, but now it's more than 1 month. Beware before applying! Other users in HN reported the same thing i…

That's why I skip companies asking for an unpaid take home assignment altogether. I have a job, responsibilities at my current job, it simply isn't worth my time.

Improbable | London / San Francisco | Full Time | ONSITE Improbable is a London-based startup with almost 200 people and a recent Series B of $500M from Softbank and Andreessen Horowitz. We have partnerships with both Google, to support innovative, upcoming game developers, and multiple established studios like Jagex. We also host a world class team of backend engineers, mainly former Google and Amazon employees, wor…

Improbable has SpatialOS with an amazing future. However expect being neglected after the interviews. I had 2 interviews on Hangout and I've been told we are waiting for our engineer to be free to have the third chat. after almost 2 months they refuse to update me and answer back even though I have been told "we are very excited to continue the process with you". Thumbs down from me.

I find your comment very surprising; we take hiring very seriously, and your experience sounds very unlike what I see on a daily basis (I'm a TLM, but as everyone else, actively involved with the interview process).

Feel free to contact me privately with some more details, I'll be happy to follow up on this.
