I just got an interview with HackerRank and it sucked. It has some absurd code completion and a browser is not a good place to code in.

I tried to copy/paste in/out from vim and it was a disastrous process. Nearly I could not use my previously implemented bst implementation. (Which I was told to).

I screwed the test - of course it was not HackerRank's problem - and retried in vim after time ended. I could code it in a fraction of the time that I could in that ide. Time limits never work for the candidate.
