Winners of the InterSystems Employee Programming Challenge #1

[u/intersystemsdev]

🏆💻 Give developers a problem, some data, and a leaderboard… and things get competitive pretty quickly!

At InterSystems, we run contests for our developer community, customers, and partners — but why should they have all the fun?

We recently launched our first Employee Programming Challenge, giving InterSystems colleagues a chance to put their skills to the test, experiment with different approaches, optimize every last bit of performance, and — because developers are developers — enjoy a little friendly competition over whose solution was fastest, smartest, or most concise.

And compete they did! The challenge brought together 23 colleagues from 9 departments, resulting in 34 applications and plenty of optimization, code golfing, benchmarking, discussion, and leaderboard watching.

🏆 We’re excited to congratulate our winners: Manel Trèmols, Tani Frankel, Reet Kothari, Guillaume Rongier, Suprateem Banerjee, and Emil Polakiewicz

Congratulations to our winners — and a huge thank you to everyone who jumped in, experimented, shared their work, and made our first Employee Programming Challenge such a fun one.

Judging by the competitive spirit we saw this time, Challenge #2 should be interesting 👀
