Online Profiles are not "Broken" as much as they are "embellished". By that, I mean that a big majority of users -- I would say as much as 95% amongst guys and 40% amongst girls -- embellish their profile in areas where they internally feel they are lacking / inadequate.

I have met 100s of guys from plentyoffish.com match.com and okcupid.com (before match.com acquihired them) and can say that most guys lie about their height, as well as their jobs. It's annoying for someone really attractive and intelligent like me because it wastes so much time!

I love this site! Like someone mentioned on TC, it's a Stack Overflow meets JSFiddle, SqlFiddle, GitHub etc.

Would be interesting to see how they handle COMPLEX snippets / codebase like Web APIs, Delegates, events etc.

Isn't this what Plural Sight does? For 20$ a MONTH?

I've used Plural Sight videos and their supporting code download for learing C#, Design Patterns, Algorithms, Interviewing Questions, Android programming, the complete works.

(Disclaimer: I have no relation with Plural Sight or their employees. Just think their products are awesome, and let you learn at your own pace, and have everything that this pair programming site seems to offer, for a fraction of the cost.)
