I enjoy learning and practicing my skills.
I’m running through AoC in language I am less familiar with, so I can learn while I do it.
But that’s not work, so fuck me right?

“Doing Work Outside of Work is Fucking Stupid” - completely disagree with this take. I got into programming because I like it, and the challenges in aoc are fun. I’m not doing work outside of work, I’m having fun outside of work, and it’s alright to invest about an hour of my time into it. Also, you don’t have to chase the leaderboards? You can just do it in the comfortable pase, it’s not like the internet points mean something

After day 5 part 2 I take it back, it’s not fun anymore it’s suffering. This is my first time doing aoc, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.

I think that has been an outlier so far, its good to have one that makes you re-evaluate your solution once in a while.
Definitely a time sink though!
