Speed(t)Code

The fastest way to prove you can code.

What it does

Instead of solving problems by thinking alone, you race the clock (or other developers) by typing real code snippets from real problems — in Python, JavaScript, and C++. It tracks your WPM, accuracy, personal bests, and ranks you on global leaderboards. You can play solo to improve syntax muscle memory or jump into real-time multiplayer lobbies powered by WebSockets. Think Monkeytype × LeetCode × esports, built for developers who want to sharpen speed, precision, and confidence.

    I’m sure many of you are familiar, but there’s a treacherous gap between finding (or building) a model that works in PyTorch, and getting that deployed into your application, especially in consumer-facing applications. I’ve been very interested in solving this problem with a great developer experience. Over time, I gradually realized that the highest-impact thing to have was a way to go from existing Python code to a self-contained native binary—in other words, a Python compiler. I was already pretty familiar with a successful attempt: when Apple introduced armv8 on the iPhone 5s, they…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
