In case anyone was wondering if I already gave up — no, I did not. I will recover them (2022 included) slowly, probably after January 2024.
My own attempts to solve the AoC daily puzzles.
The goals for the 2023's edition are:
- solve the puzzles in Rust
- actually learn Rust by doing that
- ditch VS Code in favor of Neovim (this includes debugging)
- DO NOT use ChatGPT to help myself in any case (no need to learn how to ask questions)
- most importantly, do not overburn over a problem: no one is gonna fry me for being late. I do not need a second job, I need to have fun
The goals for the 2022's edition were:
| Goal | Result |
|---|---|
| solve the puzzles in Python 3.10 | done 15/25 |
| learn to write better 'pythonic' code | maybe done |
| do it faster | c'mon who is slow with Python (I am) |
| get familiar with the US layout (just for fun) | done, I now have an headache because I regularly switch from IT to US |
| rely less on third-party code ({DIY}-minus-{don't reinvent the wheel} ruleset) | kinda |
