Colloquio
Applied for a role online. Heard back from a recruiter 1 week later regarding the position. Was followed by a explanation about an online coding quiz. The coding quiz as of March 2017 consists of implementing a Battleship game in a pre-made Rails application. The effort is timed (2 hours maximum).
While the job application stated GitHub was open to hiring software engineers unfamiliar with Rails the requirement of using Rails in the coding quiz proved otherwise.

For this coding challenge you'll build a simplified version of battleship. You'll have 3 ships that will be placed on a 10 by 10 grid which is the battleground. Each cell in the battleground is identified by its space on an x,y axis with [0,0] being the cell in the bottom left corner. Each ship is 1 cell wide and 3 cells long. On initial placement, each ship is oriented vertically. To initialize the playing field you'll receive a 2 dimensional array where each element in the array contains the x,y coordinates of each ship's topmost cell.
Your game interface will be a basic HTTP API. You should assume that you are implementing a spec that has already been published to clients and they will use the spec to learn how to interact with the game.
We want you to flesh out the provided BattleshipsController so that the create action accepts a 2-dimensional array (represented as a string) that contains the topmost cell coordinates of ships to initialize the playing board.

Colloquio
First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
