Another way of considering that statement is diminishing returns on the utility of mathematicians. Some is good, but more isn’t necessarily better.

I welcome puzzles, but I also think we need to shed some of the exclusionary aspects of mathematics/compsci, the brunt of which are far too known: inaccesible formalisms, leetcode, competitive grants/hackathons, steep admission requirements, code bounties, interview puzzle rounds, etc. Some necessary and organised in good faith I'm sure, but I hope we can move past the implicit assumption that 'maths/code isn't for everyone' and self-select based on that, as that doesn't further the cause.
