RE: How to become a better programmer using Code Wars

I've not tried Code Wars, but I did get into the Project Euler challenges for a while and there was another called the Python Challenge. These can be as much about puzzle solving as programming, but anything that expands you skills is good. I have been doing a Coursera course that used ML (Meta Language). The weekly homework on that was pretty tough. I do get that actually creating a proper project is the way to build real skills. I just need to come up with something. I would like to do something around Hive. I need to play with the available libraries and see what I can come up with.
