Thank u Jason, very cool !!
Seriously though, good for you I guess? Not sure why you're grandstanding about it.
Meanwhile, I'm doing it the way I have in years past: as a fun set of puzzles that let me write code I enjoy in a language I like, because I do actually enjoy writing code, and only until my real-life schedule no longer allows.
Nobody's saving the world by posting on their personal blogs about how they're bravely and boldly not doing a series of optional advent-calendar puzzles.
I'm not "Grandstanding" so much as "resisting"; I've been peer pressured into participating for half a decade. It's always made me feel bad. There's no shame in opting out.
I hope you don’t mind my asking; what’s the nature of the peer pressure to participate you’re facing?
