I’m doing a sort of extreme experiment with Claude Sonnet: building an entirety new and working macOS app by just giving prompts to the chat.

I have a basic knowledge of Swift and zero experience in making native Mac apps, so I think it’s going to be interesting

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/10

Finally I came back to AoC2024, but skipping day 9 (troubles on part 2).

I'm planning to start a YT prog. channel with me solving AoC2024 in #AWK. It's going to be in Italian, maybe with En subs ;)

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8

#AWK. Part 1 was a little bit complex due to the limitations of awk arrays. My p1 solution evolved very nicely to part 2 solution, with very few changes.

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7

This was pretty easy in #AWK. Part 1 solution smoothly extended to part 2 by adding one single condition and going from .09 to 2.9 seconds 😎

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6

Just a bit late completing day 6. I was able to do both parts in #AWK, but in part 2 I had to implement some bitwise operations and hex<->dec conversions, because of awk's lack of them.

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5

This was conceptually quite easy, both parts. I found some technical difficulties due to the very limited features of #AWK data structures (array in particular).

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

Pure #AWK. I won't use any other shell tool, unless I'm not able to find a way to do it in pure awk.

Part 2 was quite easy; part 1 was conceptually easy, but a little "awk"ward to do in awk 😅

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2

I was a little stuck on part 2, but finally got it with a nice brute-force approach. #AWK, by the way.

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3

Using a pure #AWK solution for both part 1 and 2.

I'm a little stuck on Day 2 - part 2. My brain totally screwed, and I'm close but not still there. I'm using AWK there, too.

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

Per la prima parte: uno script Bash che usa "paste", "sort" e "awk".

Per la seconda parte: uno script #AWK puro 😜

Quest'anno me ne sono ricordato in tempo, quindi ci provo anch'io con l'#AdventOfCode 2024 ✨
C'è solo da decidere in quale linguaggio:
- #PHP
- #Go
- #Javascript
- #Swift
- #C
- o magari provo in #AWK 😆

Per un’idea di un’app mobile che mi frulla per la testa (e che serve penso solo a me), ho deciso di cimentarmi con #swift, #swiftui e #xcode.

Ecco qualche impressione a caldo del tutto non richiesta:

1/4

#PHP è l'unico linguaggio di programmazione che con il prefisso "$" davanti alle variabili ci ricorda costantemente perché lo facciamo 😀
