As one of the employers posted on a Reddit forum (https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/comments/53h2sl...), CodinGame is not really a "learn coding" style site. If anything it's a "reinforce what I know" site. You aren't 'learning' the concepts, nor are you learning 'game programming', you are practicing what you already know via a game format.

I once had a student that was taking my Java 2 (OOP concepts) course and was using CodinGame for "fun".

If anything, I believe CodinGame's business model is more on the recruitment side, as their tournaments often offer interviews with the sponsors.
