As an competitive proggramming lover, I am really sad because Code Jam has officially over. But, why??? It shouldn't be over. Code Jam is one of the most popular competitive programming competition and so many competitive programmer including me didn't want this to happen. The hope of getting a Google T-Shirt is over now :((( At least, can you guys give Code Jam t-shirts as a prize for Farewell Round?

I petition to hold the four rounds at different times instead of simultaneously. It makes no sense, why would they hold it at the same time? It just decreases the number of people who can participate in the rounds. I want to participate in all four rounds, not be forced to pick one.

Also yeah no prizes is cringe

I don't mind a 16 hour run, or winners getting a coupon which allows them to pay for a shirt in https://shop.googlemerchandisestore.com/

    It would be cooler to have an exclusive shirt though, like they've always done

It is fortunate that Codeforces survived better despite not owned by a company with $280 billion revenue and $60 billion profit in 2022. Thanks to Mike Mirzayanov and numerous passionate problem writers and the whole communities.
