Sofia Labs Coding Challenge

You’re good at what you do, and you know it. But have you got what it takes to prove you’re the best by competing against other talented developers?

Here’s your update from mission control: the year is 2442. The once beautiful city of San Francisco is now in ruins. You need to race through the post-apocalyptic landscape in your speedy pod. Only the best developers will see their names appear on the leader board. Will you be among them?
