Advent of Code 2024

Hi! I'm Eric Wastl. I make Advent of Code.

You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Solving puzzles is hard enough on its own, but competing for a spot on the global leaderboard also requires manyadditionalskills and a lot of practice. However, you should do Advent of Code in a way that is useful to you, and so it is completely fine to choose an approach that meets your goals and ignore the leaderboard entirely.
