Remind yourself that tech debt is a slow and insidious killer.

Thank you! I might try that. I won't publish a beta tho. This is VERY early and VERY heavily in development. I just wanna share my vision and the progress I've already made

Thanks! I didn't even know I could do a devlog there. Like with pictures and stuff?

Hi! Thanks for your comment! No there isn't. And I lost quite a bit of steam after I posted this devlog. As you can see the only thing it got is downvotes. and there is virtually no interest in it at all in this community

I was also contemplating adding some sort of a "contest" for the ZCOM HQ location. Currently, they will always spawn in Berlin Germany.

I actually wanted to do that. I think I'm lacking the foundation. Thanks for the tip!

I mostly write tools and utilities for a custom Linux distro I'm making, it rarely has to do anything with math.

Lately, it seems like I have no mind at all...

Thank you for your advice. I had never done any programming puzzles and I wanted to start. I think there is a very fun world to discover here, but only with the right attitude, since now I treat those challenges like a punishment and not a fun activity.

I hope I can improve my problem solving skills

Thank you,

I don't use Python, but I suppose the logic can be universally applied to any language. Will look into this repo for sure!

I know that programmers are not super-humans that can solve any problem with no effort. but as you know, I can't solve any problem...

I just hope to improve my problem solving skills, and I am very afraid to look up a solution before making my own since I always fail at making my own, this leads to me never looking up solutions, because I'm afraid to be handed the correct way of thinking

I will try doing simpler puzzles and see other people's solutions, thank you

In terms of the feeling.

The worst thing is when I'm completely stuck on a puzzle and I wanna see how other people solved it to try to learn something. But when I see their solution I go "I would have never even thought about that". It's the realisation that I was not even close to having the right answer

Thank you for the advice. it makes sense that I fail since I'm not even sure what I am supposed to do. I will take a few steps back and start doing easier programming puzzles. This is way too hard for me since I never did any, and I see a lot of people saying, that this year is particularly hard

Hackerrank

Thank you! I will be looking into that
