This is quality truely, maybe not high production but insane value. Your spark new ideas and pathways of thinking which is very refreshing you are actually bringing a lot of value to the table outside entertainment. This video dosen't seem to be directed at the mass audience, it's directed at the people that care about programming and advent of code like, where a 1hr+ video of some guy sharing is ideas and thoughts is the best video ever. It gives me as I said new perspectives and insights that I might not be able to come up with on my own. Thank you, I really appreciate you.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Inspires me to try solving in more languages and possibly try for a leaderboard spot some day... my best is ~2000 so I've got some ways to go but the process you outlined was very easy to follow. Rooting for you, the battle at the top of the leaderboard is fierce! =)
Great video! Is found your channel this year and it’s really inspiring!!! A video about you and your background/job would be fantastic! Happy new year 🎉
Mmmh, I usually don't test my code on input data before submitting. I'd have to see how I can maybe add that without adding any time. Submitting a wrong answer isn't necessarily a 1 minute loss. You also need to spend time to fix a bug, now this could be a obvious off by one but it could also be harder to spot, so that time would have passed, if you submitted the wrong answer or not. Are you planning on recording your solves this year?
I have a utility script set up that just pulls in test data from test.txt (I have it on my repository and discussed it in my recent upload (the updated 2023 general tips)), and I just copy-paste a test case into it. While you are right that you might lose that time fixing the bug anyway, for earlier days it can definitely be a massive hit. Last year's day 1 I actually did not get leaderboard because of a tiny mistake with my text editor saving my input as CRLF but my code expecting LF, and because I didn't test on sample data, I lost a full minute when the fix would've taken about 5 seconds. Also, yes I will be uploading again this year!
@@hyper-neutrino heh, Similarly I once lost 30 points because my editor wanted to be smart and stripped the trailing white spaces on each line I was relying on. Since then I have a script that downloads the input automatically so I don't introduce any errors
@@hyper-neutrino Whelp, i got ffed, I misread today I failed to get points on part 1 :/ seems I should prioritize making something for checking testcases

Banger vid, it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this explainer
Awesome!
amazing

So where does someone learn problem-solving skills?
