After trying the delicious Detroit style pizza found in Costco's frozen food section, I've been wanting to go to Detroit to try the real thing. It's my favorite frozen pizza.

The Christmas 2015 hack has now been fixed :) My boss has been begging us to leave Linode ever since. We haven't left.
We've had network issues as well as forced shutdowns that have corrupted data. Their support was also terrible. We only spent a few weeks with Vultr because of this.
You have pretty much nailed it.
We've moved off vultr. Too many network down times for no known reason and hard reboots on our servers causing loss of data. A friend has had similar experiences. Their support was also poor.
This resume makes me feel inferior.
It is completely unclear from this rant what the daughter knew before entering the class. I don't care if she had used Linux, that doesn't mean she knew jack squat about programming.
I taught an intro to computer programming course at a local community college for a semester. The curriculum was set, so I couldn't really venture off to my own thing. What I learned is that what we have to teach simply is boring. Sorry, but you have to learn about loops, conditionals, variables, and all those other mundane things before you can move on to more interesting things. And let's get real, how interesting are things ever going to be in a class? Not very. It gets exciting when you know enough to create a project on your own. An intro to computer course is not that course - I wish it were.
I'd have to be social, wouldn't I? sigh
I'm too shy for these things!!! :)
I like all the progress I've seen in web based editors over the years. However, one feature I use a lot in my IDE but have not seen in any web-based editor is code completion. When that gets implemented well, then it will be hard to resist using something this.
Teachers in the U.S. who expect students to struggle with math problems instead of just giving them answers after the student puts in the most minimal effort can get in big trouble for doing so. (Source: My math teaching career.)
I have been unable to find a good web server tutorial. Everything seems to be listen, process page, done, repeat. This doesn't seem to allow multiple connections at once, especially if the process page process takes a long time.
Reading your description below (test cases et. al.), it doesn't seem as simple as you first make it seem. I start with something like, "Write a loop that displays the numbers 1 to 100." About 80% of the people I phone interview fail this test. Almost 100% of newly graduated students fail. I'm not sure if they are overthinking it, if schools are no longer teaching anything practical, or what.
