    Congrats to everyone! Not first year, though first year of at least trying every problem. Burnout definitely got me by day 20 though, ha ha ha… There was a lot of ugly (readability a backseat to “code writing speed”), a lot of bad (don’t ask how long the test suite has to run for), but an occasional gem of good (my day 19 solution is some of the most dopamine from just writing code I’ve gotten. I’m only used to getting that much when it actually gets merged). I learned a little through the problems themselves, but I did learn a lot about writing macro_rules macros by creating a test suite generator and a benchmark generator. I also picked up some useful Git knowledge like --allow-unrelated-histories, interactive rebasing, --name-only, and using the reflog to help recover data (don’t ask what happened on day 23). This year was a personal success. Till next year!
