Python Programmer, and Advent of Code attempter. I frequently over indulge in Oxford commas.
I just completed "Hoof It" - AoC day 10. Twenty stars locked down! This one was fun I just had to remove an optimization from part one to find part two.

I've completed Part One of "Disk Fragmenter" AoC day 9. Just finished part one that was a nasty trick Eric played with the example. I was so confused when the example of all single digit indexes worked perfectly.

I've completed "Resonant Collinearity" - AoC Day 8. I thought they would get harder on the weekend but I'm not complaining this was a fun one. I spent a lot of time trying to remember what directions to move the indexes.

AoC Day 7 finished. I'm pretty happy with this one - my first solution for part two took 40s to run. But right after I got my star I reduced it to 4s by taking the product first and seeing if the target number was bigger or smaller than the product. #AdventOfCode

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code
I got my stars but that was the ugliest brute force I've ever had the misfortune of producing.

AoC Day 5, "Print Queue" was pretty tricky. And once again I feel like I'm putting the pieces of a parser together.

Advent Code 2024 Day 1 was a breeze but I'm still haunted by memories of last year.
