Codechef Goodies!

I don’t really understand the “swag” in stress ball and rubik’s cube . The “swag” part about tshirts was that you could wear them and brag about your achievement . Who is going to know you achieved a rank in long challenge when all you got was a lame rubik’s cube and stress ball :frowning: . Stress balls are like 5 bucks a piece xD .
Maybe the people getting “bored” of tshirts were the ones who entered top 20 on a frequent basis .For someone who did it for the first time , this is a huge dissapointment , after all the months of delay they could have come up with something much much better than this .

Please add T-shirt,pen-drives,diaries etc. at some reasonable laddus. If other top programmers are complaining that these things are too mainstream,then its better to provide everyone with more options(like the 3 ones) but what is the point in removing the mainstream goods. :frowning:

What about people who have earned goodies before this new system was introduced? will they receive a t-shirt? or just some points?

Here is my bug report (One year ago):

Here is the response from team Codechef:

I didn’t receive anything.
I’ve never received a T-Shirt from a competitive programming website before, and this really means a lot to me.

Again, thanks for everything.

Atleast add T-shirts. As my fellow programmers have already mentioned, I feel it is the best goody to recieve and show-off your achievement by wearing it in public…

I have been waiting for a few months for this system to begin but now I am disappointed… :frowning:

The Rubiks Cube doesn’t seem to have any form of Codechef logo, it’s just like a normal Rubik’s cube, and it costs 2000 laddus (~7 contests -_-).

Why are there no T-shirts :’(

Okay I have no laddus but still here is my opinion. :stuck_out_tongue:

  1. As others said, every goodie is too pricy.
  2. Seriously why no t-shirts? Maybe top programmers are tired of getting too many t-shirts but many people still want it.

Goodies recommendations

  1. T-shirts, Hoodies, Caps with customizability like adding your handle or a quote.
  2. Pen drives, Mousepad
  3. Notepad, pen, bag, stickers, paper weight
  4. Cup, Key chains

LOL! xD

Why can’t I click on the Add to Cart button for the T-shirt. (for others it seems to work fine) Is it a bug?

This is not fair. Earliar we got shirt for ever contest. Now, to earn a t-shirt you need to win in 3 contests or more.

Not happy with the laddu system.

Please add the Tshirts. Its one of the most sought after goodie in codechef.

That duck is not just any duck. Read the description. It is the legendary Debugging Duck. It will talk to you, it will listen to you, and when you’re wrong it will yell “Not like this you dumbo!”, but it will never leave your side. With this, your days of pulling your hairs while debugging are behind you. Go for it. You will not regret.

Yes, that duck isn’t just another duck, it has an emotion attached to it. We programmers need a buddy when we are stuck and they are just perfect. While talking to them you’ll feel them doing the magic. It’s just perfect, get one for yourself. For more detailed explanation on rubber duck debugging refer this Rubber duck debugging - Wikipedia
