Facebook Hacker Cup: Seeking a world champion hacker - Jan. 4, 2012

Facebook Hacker Cup: Seeking a world champion hacker - Jan. 4, 2012: "Facebook prides itself on its hacker culture, and dangles coding puzzles on its recruiting page with the slogan: "Solve programming challenges. Get a phone interview." The company frequently holds marathon staff hackathons as part of its product-development process.
Facebook also likes to crowdsource its site hacking. In August, the social network launched a "bug bounty" security initiative, inviting security researchers to send details of any Facebook vulnerabilities they uncover. Facebook offers up a finder's fee of at least $500 to those who find security holes."

At faceBook's First Hackers' Parade this happened:
  • Contestants by country included:
  • 7 hackers from Poland,
  • 6 from Russia,
  • 4 from the U.S.,
  • 2 from Japan, and
  • One each from China, Germany, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and Ukraine.
  • The vast majority of the hackers were running Windows with Cygwin, a suite of tools that give Linux feel and functionality to a Windows OS.
  • Exactly zero hackers were using Macs.
  • Although several women made it into the later rounds, the final 25 hackers were all men.
  • Most of the hackers were in their mid-twenties and have been writing software for years.
Where most fail to learn skills that would help them to be online, some are born to these skills. Algorithms  seem to fly in our faces on faceBook, but not for these gifted few.
