40At least personally, I don’t really care about challenges. I'd be much happier if development budget went to long standing feature requests.voided– voided2026-04-29 18:43:37 +00:00Commented yesterday

9The best part about Challenges is that I don't have to do anything with them. I looked at the first one, concluded that it's definitely not for me, and haven't had to look at them since. As long as they aren't pushed in my face or give rep for noise or anything like that I'm happy with them.Andras Deak -- Слава Україні– Andras Deak -- Слава Україні2026-04-29 19:55:20 +00:00Commented yesterday

10I like challenges. A small bright spot amidst the dark clouds of negativity that have overtaken stackoverflow in the last year or so.ravenspoint– ravenspoint2026-04-29 20:40:13 +00:00Commented yesterday

1I do not like how challenges replaced discussions. Discussions were not perfect, but they were way better implemented than the "open ended" questions experiment we have now.CPlus– CPlus2026-04-30 04:21:37 +00:00Commented yesterday

9My only thought about them is I'd love to know what Code Golf thinks about them, I feel it'd have been better for their community if challenges were just a spotlighted question from themSayse– Sayse2026-04-30 08:04:17 +00:00Commented yesterday

2@CPlus And that is saying a lot of just how badly "open-ended" questions were implemented...Lundin– Lundin2026-04-30 11:44:39 +00:00Commented 22 hours ago

1@Sayse The general consensus was that it's apples and oranges. See "This won't kill activity on the Code Golf StackExchange site" in lyxal's answer to the original proposal, or some of the reactions in chat.DLosc– DLosc2026-04-30 20:57:13 +00:00Commented 12 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
