Yep. I've been going and digging up old ACM and other programming contest problems just so that I don't forget how to actually code something from (near) scratch. I was disturbed to discover how rusty I was.
- ern 17y agoI started doing Project Euler problems for the same reason last year. I even sat up with friends one night working on a few problems, just to recapture that college feeling. But I know writing algorithmically interesting problems are not likely to appear at work, and I've made my peace with that, along with the paycheck I get for writing enterprise systems.
