Im excited to participate for the first time! I started learning Python in February.
I really like advent of code because it starts out real easy and then you’ll eventually hit a wall where you have zero idea how to solve the problem. Thankfully, you can see how other people do it and learn a lot! Even if you did solve it on your own, other people sometimes post incredibly elegant solutions you can still learn from.
Do you mind giving a bit more info? I skimmed the about page and I understand the gist, but how do you see how others solved the problem? Do you have to wait for that puzzle to be done and then look at the leaderboard? Do some people solve these in group settings?
If you google the title of the puzzle you should be able to find people posting solutions, or even just "advent of code {year} {day}. There’s a subreddit for advent of code that has a lot and I’ve also found some people on youtube who post video explanations. The leaderboards are just to remind you that 100 people solved the problem you worked 2 days on in under 15 minutes.
