Unfortunately, due to a possible problem with printing transparent gradients, I stuck to just black for this year. We'll see how they come out.

Advent of Code isn't open source, and all inputs have been solved very many times by now. Please ask for help on the subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/adventofco...

Yep! I'm pretty sure you can make a throwaway Reddit account with no personal info if your friend wants to try that.

🚨 Any #AdventOfCode friends at GitHub? AoC users are getting '429 Too Many Requests' in response to the github.com/login/oauth/... request step of the OAuth flow. Last time this happened, I think someone at GitHub tweaked a rate limit in my OAuth app.

The first #AdventOfCode 2025 puzzle comes out in about five hours! What's your plan? What language(s?!) are you using? What's your IDE of choice and why is it Vim? Do you have a comfy chair? Did you check out the beta release of Lua 5.5? How much sleep have you gotten? Drinking enough water? 🌟 ❤️ 🎄

Anybody else want to join me in taking the #chill, casual fun approach to #AdventOfCode? We'll help each other out when we get stuck, celebrate each other's wins (no matter how small), and generally pursue AoC as a collaborative game (not a competitive one)

Let's have some chill holiday fun, y'all!
