# Advent of Code 2020 This year, I'm going back to my roots, and writing a bunch of crappy Ruby solutions. Usually I try to learn a new language or solidify one I'm not comfortable in, but this year, I'm trying a different constraint -- speed. I want to try to solve these puzzles as _fast_ as possible. Even if that means shitty looking code or hobbled together structures. You can see this in day1's solution -- it's a thrown-together hash-of-arrays, but it took me about 20 minutes to go from absolutely nothing to complete. After I've solved the puzzles, I'll go back and extract common ideas and try to refactor my way towards something I don't hate. Ultimately, this is an experiment in _extreme_ commitment to YAGNI / MVP and refactoring. We'll see how it works out.
