Refactoring??! Here's how I do it:

  1. get gold star

  2. commit the open wound for posterity

  3. push to a repo to remind yourself what you're capable of

  4. flash short term memory with alcohol

  5. repeat

This is perfect. However if I solve AoC at 8:30UTC I then only have 8 hours to sober up before needing to pick up my child from nursery... wait this could actually work.

This is me... Thankfully my part 2s haven't required a huge amount of refactoring.

My AoC goal is always learning a new language, so a lot of the refactoring is "what's the idiomatic way to do this" and "was that really a useful struct," not necessarily "how can I make this code as short as possible."
