How Stripe, Weebly And Cue Make Programming Challenges That Are Good For Recruiting

His previous company, Zenter, sold to Google in 2007. Follow him on Twitter @rwalker. Startups like Stripe, Weebly, and Cue have spent weeks of valuable engineering time building programming challenges. And tens of thousands of engineers spend their valuable personal time playing them. Why? Programming challenges are a fantastic way to connect great people with great jobs, particularly great jobs at startups. Competition: Stripe’s Capture The Flag Stripe has run two massive capture the flag contests: extremely elaborate security challenges that test an attacker’s ability to discover and exploit security holes. Greg Brockman, who ran the CTFs, remembers that it took a lot of work. The CTF took on a life of its own.

CardFlight Partners With Stripe And Launches SDK To Become The ‘Stripe Of Real-World Payments’

Companies like Stripe offer APIs that help developers quickly integrate payments into their applications without having to build out non-core functionality themselves. But what about developers who want to be able to take payments directly, like in real-life? On that front, the options are much more limited. While Square and PayPal and Intuit have done a good job of lining up small businesses to use its card reader and Register point-of-sale system, those customers are stuck using the platform provided to them. Those who wish to develop their own custom or branded solutions are out of luck when it comes to taking real-world payments.
