One of the fascinating things is reading other people's solutions. You get wild extremes - from easy clean solutions that I would never think of to some very weird choices. Especially in the first few days when the puzzles are easier it's more of the latter - there are some extreme abuses of Python in today's solutions thread on reddit. I get that it works but I also hope that nobody I work with ever writes code that way. I assume it happens more with Python because beginners are more likely to use it and because it gives you so much flexibility.
On the flip side, it's a bit humbling to see people solving the difficult days extremely quickly or having very concise and elegant solutions.
