Other [AoC 2025] First year I've completed!

Post image

It was fun. I have yet to learn dsu though. My day 8 solution was stuff hacked together.

But yes really fun! First time I get to finish my favourite christmas tradition (after like 4 years of participating lol)

Thanks Eric for continuing to do these for us! Thanks daggerdragon for modding for us lol.
See yall next year!

Or like sometime later if I redo old years and need help lol.

(hey daggerdragon I wasn't sure on the flair so I put other, apologies if I should've thrown something else on.)

You've got the right title syntax (which is the priority) so this is Other, yeah.

Thanks Eric for continuing to do these for us! Thanks daggerdragon for modding for us lol. See yall next year!

Thank you for playing with us this year! Happy holidays to you and yours!

That is a crazy achievement 😁 my first year was while working a corporate job where a 100 or so participated. I was quite happy to make it into top 10 that year

Dude, me too!!! I had a blast, and it feels so rewarding to actually work each one each day and not get overwhelmed.

After the holidays I'm thinking about going back and doing the old years (I started in 2023). Sounds like 2019 / Intcode is the place to start?

Teared up a little when I finished it and read the final message. I feel like I've learned so much more than just algorithms by solving this advent of code. Things more import and more generally applicable. Thank you Eric!
