Advent Of Code
Each year around the holidays a coding challenge is posted online. It always gets a lot of attention on Twitter, Reddit, and Hackernews. I sometimes use it to try to learn new technologies like rust. The challenges get progressively more difficult, and I typically make it to the day 15-20 before dropping off to focus on family.
Years
- 2024: This was my first year done in TypeScript. I didn't want to struggle with a complicated language like Rust, and instead wanted to focus on solving fun problems in a language I knew very well!
- 2023: Done in Rust
- 2022: Due to an unfortunate accident I lost my 2022 solution. This was my first year done in Rust.
- 2021: Done in Python
