I just completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #Python #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4

Quick solve, but slightly hacky part 2. Still fun!

I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3

That was really fun, and a little braintwister until I sorted out some misplaced array indices! 1&2 = Done :)

I just completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/2
I spent too much time trying to be clever with prime numbers in part 2, but sometimes you just gotta keep it simple..

Onto day #3! ❤

Maybe this time I go back and write some visualization? Pygame perhaps?🤩

I just completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/14

8 seconds runtime on part 2, but fuck it. I got it done without knowing how the tree looked! I focused on using the output from part 1, and it worked!

I just completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/13

Ok, this was a lot of janky code. Part 1 -> bruteforce, part 2... wellllll... hey that looks like an equation.. hm.

MORE JANK!

I just completed "Garden Groups" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/12

Everything is fine. Don't worry. Just write code. Don't look at the dumpster fire that is social media rn. #breathe

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/11

This took so long it's almost embarassing! I did learn about why keeping a massive array in memory is bad though! Also, memoization with lru_cache decorator was neat!

On to day 12!

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

Feels kinda weird that it was "easy" to just comment out a few lines and bam done, but I'll take it!

I've completed "Disk Fragmenter" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/9

This took entirely too long! I think I completely rewrote part 2 at least 4 times when I realized I misunderstood some parts of the instructions. 🤷‍♂️

It would be truly interesting to see a work-productivity graph of coders worldwide during the #adventofcode event each year. And then compare that to a surge in search trends for and interest in programming topics. #codeislife

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

When in doubt, try to overengineer things. Then start deleting stuff randomly and stumble onto the solution! #franksinatra

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

Seriously, thought I was clever with my solution. Runtime? Oh what about a cool 4 minutes to solution.. #stillcounts

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

When you dread complex-looking things and they turn out to be ... not as complex. Ooops

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 Part 1&2 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

Why make it efficient when you can make it fun?! ^^
