Since we're counting on lots of people who aren't in the job market to participate, if people get nothing out of Starfighter other than referrals to jobs, we're doing something very wrong.

The first Starfighter CTF is first and foremost a labor of love. I know the hiring angle dominates discussion of the concept, but I can't say this any more clearly: we are sinking all our energy into building the programming game we've wanted to exist for years. The thing we're building is only peripherally connected to hiring.
