Hi, Practicing in a different way than how you compete is bound to cause you trouble. If you resort to seeing the input data when you don't know why something is not working well, you are going to be unprepared when that happens in a contest.
Also, some people spend a lot more time using our site to practice than to compete (some don't like the time pressure of the competitive pressure of an actual contest, for instance). And that's totally fine. And we want those users to be as well prepared to be programmers as we can, in the same way we want the test to reflect programming as accurately as possible, as I've already mentioned. It's totally fine if you disagree with these arguments, in the same way you have every right to dislike the UI or any other of our choices. I hope that you can still find good value in Code Jam despite those differences.
