One of my favorite things that I did in the old place was curate a list of Data Librarians.
#datalibs are one of my favorite communities, and I hope this starter pack can help us find each other again in this new place.
Please reply or DM me with more folks to add to the pack!

I've been debating for the past week whether to go back and finish up the last few days of Advent of Code 2025. But, I haven't really been feeling it, and now December and (2025) is done. So in the spirit of a #chill #AdventOfCode, I think I'm done for now. See ya in a year, AoC!

Yes I waited till all 6 were out and I was back home from holiday travel and binged them in 2 days and it was totally worth it.

Whelp, once again for #AdventOfCode my solution for part 2 works for the test case but is far too inefficient and crashes the kernel.
Day 9 part 1 was ridiculously easy, because you could cheat with math, so I guess it makes sense part 2 is difficult. Ah well.

Whelp, #AdventOfCode is definitely getting harder each day. For Day 8, I was only able to solve part 1 for the test case - my answer was wrong for my actual input though. I'm about ready to tear out my hair so I'm stopping for now.

Day 7 #AdventOfCode prompt is giving me the giggles:
Naturally the first thing you do upon seeing a teleportation experiment is step into the teleporter
Magic smoke
Error code 0H-N0
Christmas-tree shaped tachyon manifolds
What's coming next in part 2? Maybe a sonic screwdriver can help...

Woooo I'm back in the 2-star club! Part 2 was kinda a pain in the butt to figure out how to parse the input correctly, but I'm quite happy with my solution

I thought day 5 was seeming a bit too easy... my part 2 answer was wrong and I'm not immediately sure what to do to fix it. So, I'm going to bed, maybe I'll figure it out another day.

I learned in past years that if your input needs to be a grid, using numpy will make your life much easier. I know this is possible to solve with just base python, but why not refresh myself on some numpy basics and also save myself the headache?

Day 3 in the books! Part 1 was very easy, and part 2 was an interesting generalization, but got a bit tricky to do the list indexing properly. The test cases were definitely useful here in making sure I wrote my code correctly.

Wooooooo 2 stars for me today! Part 2 was way easier for Day 2 than Day 1... in fact I initially misread Part 1 thinking it was asking for what Part 2 ended up asking for.
Starting earlier in the evening (like well before midnight) definitely helped as well 😅
