sudo_cowsay: Nice way of hiring but is it really worth it to give the public a trip to Maui (kinda expensive these days)Does it really reveal that much talent to make it worth the money?Just curious

armandhammer10: It's less about the money. It's about giving people a chance to do something fun / show off their skills and get rewarded for it.Plus, Hawaii is awesome.

dr_kiszonka: I think it is a fun contest! As for recruitment, it suggests to me you are looking for people with no kids, and possibly young people.

4b11b4: Wait what this is the best reason to write a bunch of assembly AND learn about ants?

armandhammer10: And (potentially) go to Hawaii!But in all seriousness, ants are smarter than they look. They operate as a collective. Just in the same way that assembly needs to operate collectively to get the best output.They're more closely linked than they appear from the outside ;)

nurettin: This is a balancing act between collectors and explorers. There is probably some optimized number. Likely targeted at beginners.

i_am_a_squirrel: what is this? assembly for ants?

armandhammer10: ant-ssembly to be precise
