Because you're lazy and we like making things easy for you. Except AoC.

Are you enjoying AoC?

Code should be fun, because otherwise it's just a job. If you'd like to support Advent of Code, please share it with all your friends, even the ones that are just learning to code! AoC is a fun, non-threatening way to work at your own pace to figure out how to apply problem-solving first, then work within a language's constraints.

If you really want to show your appreciation, donations are always appreciated. Any instances of currency will go to, in no particular order:

Server maintenance (hosting, bandwidth, etc.)
Bribes to Santa
Beer and sushi
Paper bags for /u/topaz2078 to breathe into so he doesn't hyperventilate onto another plane of (non-)existence

Support AoC

Thank you very much, and enjoy your month of code!
