I know this is a low-quality comment, but i just want to congratulate the whole stockfighter team for getting the jailbreak ctf out. it looks like it was a ton of work and looks fantastic. as somebody who was excited about it after trying my hand at microcorruption, i'm super excited to see this finally. hats off!

"Starfighter is a new, weird kind of recruiting company. We detect and market underpriced programming talent. We do that by creating opportunities for programmers to casually and effectively demonstrate aptitude."

Having a hard time parsing this. Do you find underpriced talent and help them get paid more?

Susie works making crud apps for a boring insurance company. She is a brilliant programmer but due to where she lives, personal situations, she hasn't faced a challenge that lets her know the extent of her abilities, etc, she is working below her potential.

Susie creates a novel solution to one of Stockfighter's games. Stockfighter uses that solution as evidence to present her to companpanies as a great engineer. She gets job offers for more money, challenge, and satisfaction than she currently has.

Additionally, Stockfighter will get a placement fee for Susie from her new employer. This will allow Stockfighter to continue operations independently, and will let them help more Susies find better employment opportunities in the future.

wow, I just found microcorruption, now it looks like there's man-months of fun ahead. Technical comment: "forgot password"-link is not wired to anything? Not working for me on FF at least.

The forgot password link doesn't work for me in Chrome either, but I found this URL and it seems to work: https://www.stockfighter.io/ui/forgot_password

one comment on the trainer: when you click on the Jailbreak link, it just drops you into the debugger, if you, like me got lost, run the `tour` and then click on the little person+ head and go to the documentation and go through the quickstart.

yay!
