I'm often asked to recommend some easy Coding Challenges for junior developers.

It's not easy to suggest easy coding challenges as what is easy for a backend developer might be a challenge for a frontend developer. The same applies for an systems developer versus a data scientist or data engineer.

But to try and answer the question, here are the five coding challenges that I think are easiest for anyone to get into, no matter what their background is:

  1. Write Your Own wc Tool
  2. Write Your Own URL Shortener
  3. Write Your Own cut Tool
  4. Write Your Own Traceroute
  5. Write Your Own Rate Limiter
