Advent of Code 2025 will have 12 problems and no global leaderboard
- ChrisRR 1y agoThat's fair. I've never actually managed to get through the entire advent any year anyway
- wodenokoto 1y agoI never made it past day 12 anyway :)
- 334f905d22bc19 1y agoI was thinking the same, but then it will probably be hard to get past day 6, because the complexity will ramp up faster
- hcs 1y agoChristmas comes early this year
- sevenseacat 1y agoIf a shorter AoC means a happier Eric Wastl and more years of AoC in the future, then that's fine by me! And goddamn that global leaderboard was just LLM-fodder the last few years anyway
- 334f905d22bc19 1y agoThis! Some time ago I was actually thinking about the exact thing in his statement. I mean even if the problems are structurally almost the same each year, it must be a huge time investment to come up with the stories and give them a little twist each year. Either Eric should chill out and make it smaller, while still keeping the fun or some rich guys should pay him lots of money to make this his full-time job. The former is probably the healthier path for eric and the game
- poidos 1y agoTwo excellent changes after ten wonderful years. Thanks for everything Eric! Cheers to many more
