I don't think I've ever done Avent of Code before. (In fact, the only time I've ever even mentioned the season of Avent on this site was all the way back in 2006, when I had a LEGO Advent calendar and did unholy things with the extra pieces.)
Anyway, Eryn asked me if I'd like to do Advent of Code with her and I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
You can choose to tackle each day's puzzle using whatever programming
language or tools you'd like. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, or
perhaps because I was a sysadmin in a previous life,
I started off solving each day's puzzles in
zsh. I stuck with it for over a week before
giving up and switching to Python. Eryn is
using Rust and
Jer is using Swift.
I'm putting each day's solutions up on GitHub, in
the hober/advent-of-code
repo.
Highlights thus far:
