Brave Enough for Legacy Code?

Legacy code doesn’t have to be a horror story.
From Feb 11–16, 2026, we’re turning messy, dusty code into a full-on challenge arena.

Jump into Legacy Love and prove you can refactor, reason, and rescue code that’s seen things.
No tutorials. No hand-holding. Just real-world problems and clean solutions.

Are you ready to put your coding skills to the test? Accept challenge and make this a contest to remember!

How does it work?

The contest spans 5 days, but it doesn't require continuous effort. You can start and complete the 3 challenges whenever you have time. We estimate that solving all the challenges will take approximately 3h of work in total.

Once you register, you’ll receive an email notification before the contest begins. When it starts, you can use your terminal to launch challenges with the command start-challenge. After starting a challenge, the timer activates, and you can open the challenge in your browser to solve it.

Rules

You can check our coding contest rules here.
You can also find step-by-step guides in our documentation to help you familiarize with the DojoCode platform.
