Tonight at Deezer HQ <\/a>Rude Baguette will welcome 100+ coders and spectators to the second Paris edition of Code in the Dark<\/a>. Born out of a frustration with how developer events attracted, for the most part, non-developers, Code in the Dark is a competition that pits developer against developer in a pure coding exercise – coding a web page using only a screenshot.<\/p>\n The event’s first edition last September was quite a hit, and we’re excited to host it once again at Deezer’s great Paris offices, along with the support of PayPal, Mobiskill, AlloResto, RedBull, and Mailjet! Whether you’re a developer, a startuper, a founder, an investor, a journalist or just a geek, here’s why Code in the Dark is right for you:<\/p>\n %CODEVIMEO%<\/p>\n The first time I saw the Code in the Dark trailer, the first thing I thought of was that scene from The Social Network where college students are hacking in order to win an internship at Facebook. While we’ve toned down the alcohol a bit (plenty of alcohol, it’s just not\u00a0part<\/em> of the event), the spirit is the same – coders coding against other coders in order to prove one thing: who knowshow to code the best.<\/p>\n %CODEFBCITD%<\/p>\n As a developer, Code in the Dark puts you in a state of high alert – 15 minutes to bust your ass, knowing that, whether you’ve finished or not, your results are going to be shown to the world when the time is up. This\u00a0is<\/em> life in a startup – there are no extended deadlines, updates must be pushed, and you cannot fall back on other people<\/p>\n As a spectator, this is a great opportunity to see what it means to be a developer. It’s a bit action-packed, which isn’t\u00a0always<\/em> the case for developers, but you get to see how code becomes a product in just 15 minutes. Last September, the final competition had spectators packed around the table watching people working away – snickers in the audience from developers spotting bugs or inaccurate code were rare, but it definitely kept the tensions high.<\/p>\n The most exciting part, of course, is seeing the results at the end – the failures, and the brilliant successes.<\/p>\n Unlike Hackathons, Code in the Dark is an event where you can cheer for, support, congratulate and console your friend, your colleague or your co-worker. Whether you plan on competing or not, come out to support those who are – who knows, you might even be able to split the prizes with them!<\/p>\n No competition would be complete without prizes. Everyone who attends Code in the Dark is a winner, which is why we’ll be giving out free Red Bull, beer & food (courtesy of AlloResto) to attendees all night – we’ll also be playing great music during the competition. For the winners, though, we’ve got plenty of great prizes – brand new headphones, a Sphero, and a certain made-in-france quadcopter are part of the package, but the real prize is in the Title.<\/em><\/p>\n %CODEFBPOST%<\/p>\n Code in the Dark is about recognizing great talent, which is why the winner of each edition gets their own custom King\/Queen of the Code Trophee to put on their mantle (or their desk) for years to come.<\/p>\n So if you want to be the King\/Queen of the Code, or if you’re just looking for a great way to spend your Friday evening – come on out to Code in the Dark tonight. You can even use the 5REASONS discount code to participate for free (spectators 50% off!)<\/em><\/p>\n %CODEEBCITD%\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tonight at Deezer HQ Rude Baguette will welcome 100+ coders and spectators to the second Paris edition of Code in the Dark.
