Would you use a coding challenge where you fix bugs in a real codebase instead of solving LeetCode-style problems

Source: DEV Community

I built a coding challenge where you fix bugs in a real codebase instead of solving LeetCode-style problems Instead of: “write a function that does x” you get: a small project (multiple files) a realistic bug (e.g. duplicate payments, broken auth, slow endpoint) tests that verify your fix So it feels more like actual dev work: understanding code > writing from scratch It runs through a simple CLI, so you can pull a challenge, work locally, and submit your fix It’s also fully open source, so people can create and share their own system-style challenges I’m trying to figure out if this is actually useful or just a cool idea Would you use something like this to practice / prep for real dev work? Github org: https://github.com/Recticode (you can try it with: pip install recticode) Honest feedback would help a lot 🙏
