News emerged on Friday that Uber has come up with an innovative way of recruiting new engineers, by offering a game called Code on the Road to its riders in certain American cities. The game, which is free and requires no credit card or phone number, allows users to play games like “Where’s Waldo” while they wait for their ride at designated pickup locations. If they opt to play, they are asked to answer three coding questions in sixty seconds, and if they answer correctly they are given the option to get in touch with Uber to discuss possible job openings.
