Solutions to the 2022 edition of Advent of Code.
My intenion was to learn and practice Kotlin this year. Real life happened, so here I am, using and abusing JavaScript. It is what it is!
Here's something I learned for the various days of advent:
- Too much prep can hurt.
- Straightforward can work.
- Reading comprehension is hard.
- Programming is a skill and a craft.
- Input parsing is a lot of work.
- Detailed knowledge is useful in detailed situations.
- Sleep is also important!
- Data structures are everything!
- Train rides are decent for puzzling.
- Off-by-one might be solvable through fault-tolerance.
- A few nights sleep could help.
- Preparation would've been everything.
- Chaos brings energy.
- Calm brings clarity.
- Hacking around and not looking back is sometimes The Way.
- Dirty isn't always bad.
- Dirty still feels dirty!
- Particle physics must be insanely tricky.
- Code most work for reasonable inputs. No more.
- Off by -1 is different from off by 1.
- Sometimes you should never look back.
- Tiredness can be postponed (to a degree).
- Slow can still be good enough.
- Being thorough can be rewarding.
- No code is sometimes best code.
I've created a browser extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It is open source to spice up your private leaderboard page with graphs if you want to contribute!
