AdventOfCode for the Brave and True!

Length: 20 minutes

Room: Room 2

Abstract

Advent of Code (AoC) is like a winter holiday party for programmers! Except instead of drinking gløgg and exchanging presents, participants solve daily programming puzzles that become increasingly difficult as the event progresses. It’s a joyful way to sharpen your coding skills, where the reward for each day is the satisfaction of solving the challenges with the language of your choice. During this talk, we’ll take a look at some funny and mind-blowing solutions to these puzzles from the AoC subreddit, as well as jokes and memes that were born from failures and focused endeavors to collect fifty "stars" and save Christmas. Get ready to be inspired by the creativity and perseverance of programmers who often intentionally overcomplicate things but still manage to find solutions. Let their stories reignite your passion for coding. This talk is intended for programmers, nerds, and elves alike.
