In Internet Explorer 9, the code editor is unusable because you can't change previously entered lines. When you try to move the cursor by up arrow key or mouse click, the cursor jumps back to the last line. Maybe it's a feature to exclude candidates who don't run a modern browser. :-)
The 'Try a Demo' question link doesn't seem to do anything on latest Chrome on OSX.
I've used this in an interview and was very frustrated. Perhaps it was the fault of the interviewer and the way he framed his questions (they were slightly involved questions -- "write a command line utility that converts an image file, include unit tests, etc.)? I would often have to write my code in the online editor... (so the interviewer could observe my "style") and then bounce out of the browser, throw it into…
This isn't appropriate for every company, but we simply give programmers we are trying out a project, something we expect can be done in less than a day. We pay for the project, and we're always asking them to build things we actually put into production.
If you make it to a phone screen with me, 80-90% of the time, I'm going to be willing to pay you 200-1000 to show me what you can do. I have to let go most of the candidates after this trial, but it's cheap, and the people we keep are all really outstanding.
Dont believe me?

This is cool, but I am more interested in the javascript component that does the playback. Is there anything similar open source? Having actually seen the implementation that downloads a set of linear commands in JSON it doesnt seem too hard to implement though.
Doesnt etherpad have a similar functionality to record and replay entered text? In fact it allows for unlimited editors and far more customisable. Best of all, its free! Dont believe me? Checkout https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ep/pad/view/wvxaz6MPyt/latest
Please give me a reason to not choose an open source solution and instead go with your proprietary solution. I would be glad to be your customer if you come up with a good one.
It's certainly not perfect, but I came up with it under pressure in less than 90 seconds without checking online for the modulo return values, so I'm rather proud of it. $x = 1; while($x if((($x % 5) == 0) && (($x % 3) != 0)){ print("Buzz"); }else{ if(($x % 3) == 0){ if(($x % 5) == 0) { print("FizzBuzz"); } else { print("Fizz"); } }else{ print($x); }} ++$x; } ?>
print "\n".join(["Fizz"*(i%3==0)+"Buzz"*(i%5==0)+str(i)*(i%5!=0 and i%3!=0) for i in range(1,101)])
