That was a very kind way of putting me in my place, and I sincerely appreciate it. I don't have a big competitive coding background or anything like that (AoC is really the only competition I've tried) but I suppose it's undeniable that I have a stronger background in coding in general than many, and it's totally reasonable that without that background, a larger time commitment would be necessary. Fair point!
- da39a3ee 5y agoThanks, that's a nice response to get! Do you use python for doing these sorts of things quickly?
- smrq 5y agoI don't actually, although that's a good guess--I think a lot of the really fast solvers use Python. Makes sense--not a lot of typing, big stdlib to lean on. I use JS though, because it happens to be the language I'm most comfortable in. (Which is probably the most important thing if speed is a goal!)
