Thanks for the kind words! The logos highlight companies where our customers (the engineers) work. Since we're early stage, so far it's more common for engineers to discover CodeCrafters, sign up by themselves, and expense it to their company. That might explain why you can't find information about subscription on the intranet. We also do have cases where we work with companies to land team subscriptions, so if you'd…

Thanks for clarifying! I got excited that maybe there was a corporate subscription in place.

Agreed, learning styles are different for everyone, and it's important to be able to try things out. We've added a 3-day trial for you to experience what it's like — looking forward to seeing you on the leaderboard!

The 3-day trial is only on $700 annual memberships though! I'd very much try this out on a 3-day trial if it's then only $70 a month afterwards. $700 in one go means I have to ask the wife and you'll miss out on a sale there ;)

> Trusted by engineers at top companies with learning budgets They probably have one guy at a company and add it, based on a survey/form where people could in theory lie about where they work or add previous positions if they're unemployed. Note the companies aren't subscribers, an 'engineer' from that company is a subscriber.

Indeed, you're right — it's companies where our engineer customers work. It's been a while since we looked at that list tho, so it probably could use a refresh! For some companies on that list, we do have more than one engineer subscribing, and for in many cases we've spoken to them to learn about their motivations and feedback. We also have a Private Leaderboards feature for teams. In the past few months, a nice sma…

I think a bigger value I see with your product is replacing leetcode challenges with something like this. We often give take home assignments to our potential candidates and this would be a great fit, if the platform had features around code evaluation, ephemeral environment with seeded data that would be great. I think that is quite a big market too.
