User name xkcd-sucks. Not a fan of coding for fun.

Hackathons? Have you ever just wanted to write a web scraper in a new language to see how it is different from your usual? Never coded a small video game?

Why are you a programmer then?

Sounds like just a fancy way of giving your students unit tests. Our early CS classes will have unit tests but later the students are told to write and submit their own. I think that experience is more intuitive than a black box grader.
That's a really obnoxious viewpoint. I guess if your idea of the tech industry is only google, facebook, etc then okay.

You've cut off more than half of the industry in favor of the big companies and vaporous startups though. You can easily make nearly as much with a way cheaper cost of living elsewhere fam.
