But the idea looks like a very nice time waster or argument resolver.

I have a co-worker that always has the best theoretical cafe solution to every single bug ever found on any computer program, on this and parallel universes.

Would be nice to play this against him and maybe win one or 2.

Edit:

Looking at the bright side.

Most people that up voted the site liked the idea even without seeing the product working( I did).

That alone is a nice thing to have. So if you make it work you will get double XP!

EDIT: OK Servers migrated but it still can't come close to handling HN rush levels. While that's passing I can explain the main concept here.

A task on codefights is a function written in javascript that has 1 bug on 1 line of it and your goal is to find and fix it as soon as you can. There is a Solo mode and a VS Friend mode. In the Solo mode you start with easy tasks and need to find the bug in under a minute, if you do, you go to the next rounds where the tasks progressively get harder.

In the VS Friend mode, you codefight someone else where you guys have 5 rounds facing the same task in each round and each correct solution is 100 points, pass is 0 points and an incorrect answer is -25. At the end of 5 rounds whoever gets more points wins.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions or feedback. Hope you guys will get to try it for real soon :).
