I wanted to move away from a list view of conversations to something that illustrates people... Continue Reading →
Advent of Code is over, here’s what I thought
And just like that, Advent of Code is over! If you're just catching this thread now, back at Day 1 I explained a little why I took on this challenge: I love these little challenges because it keeps me sharp, makes me think about things differently than I may be doing daily at work.
