Advent of Code
My runs from 2022 to 2024 — TypeScript, then Kotlin.
Advent of Code is an annual programming event by Eric Wastl. Every December, from the 1st through Christmas, a new two-part puzzle unlocks each day. You write code to solve them, submit your answers, and earn stars — one per part completed, two if you solve both.
It is fun because the puzzles are self-contained stories — quick wins on a weeknight or rabbit holes that eat an entire Sunday. There is no required stack: pick any language, lean on algorithms and curiosity, and treat December as a small daily ritual. Many developers do it for the joy of coding, not the leaderboard.
I took part in three years — 2022, 2023, and 2024 — and genuinely enjoyed it. Below is a summary of what I achieved and how I approached each run.
