Should challenges be worth 10 reputation?
The fourth highest voted CGCC Meta question asks that SE increases reputation for questions. This is now status completed across the entirety of the Stack Exchange network. However, I notice that it isn't active here. According to Monica Cellio, it's completely doable to change the reputation levels, and this change would be retroactive
Code Golf, both on Stack Exchange and now here on Codidact, is not a good fit for the Q&A format. We should be prioritising quality challenges over answers, unlike the typical Q&A system which aims for high quality answers over questions. Changing the reputation system to appropriately reward high quality challenges seems like a good way to optimise for pearls, not sand.
Additionally, by doing this now, as early as possible, the overall reputation change wouldn't be extreme. By my brief guesstimates, no user would have an increase of more than 150 rep.
