Truthfully, I really just wanted to buy something instead of making CoderPad. I imagine it's certainly possible for floobits, or atom teletype, or something else entirely to get enough adoption to render our product mostly useless. We're nowhere near there, but I wouldn't mind that happening. We'll make something else or I'll switch careers.

A nice part of the Coderpad experience is zero-setup for the interview candidate. Being web based is a huge advantage here. I wouldn't want to waste any time debugging plugin issues, firewall configuration, etc.

Great work with CoderPad, Vincent!

Honest question from a newbie:

Why developing in node.js felt slow? What did ruby offer that node didn't?
