For anyone interested, advent of code is about to start! (first puzzles dropping at midnight ET which is in around 11 hours)
We have a community in the instance at !advent_of_code@programming.dev for discussion about the event and that will have solution threads where you can post and compare against other people
Advent of code is a programming puzzle advent calendar where new puzzles drop every day until the 25th. They can be done in any language and puzzles are released on the AoC site
How hard are the puzzles? I’ve been coding for a while but I’m self taught and I have no idea whether I’m any good or not. I’d love to give them a shot but I have no idea whether they’re totally out of reach or doable. What level of developer are they intended for?
they start out easy and get harder as time goes on. Theyre intended for all levels due to that and theres two different difficulties per day (the harder one being unlocked when you do the easy one). Basically anyone can do day 1
