What it does
hackattic is an attempt to show people that programming challenges right now are DULL, lack creativity and are a sad way to estimate someone's skills. It's a very, very early phase, hacked up over a few lazy weekends, which the simple intention of making step zero out of possibly many to come.

Hi! This is hackattic . That means nothing to you right now, and that's fine. I suck at landing pages but this thing needs an introduction, so here's a few words straight from the dude that hacked it up. Right now, hackattic is four five seven nine eleven fifteen seventeen challenges, ready to get solved. I plan to keep adding more over time, but I had to start somewhere. And they keep coming!

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
