    I get that, went through it myself and i’ve known plenty of people in that case.

    What got me into programming is learning c++ to make games. I started the summer after high school when i didn’t have any work left.

    But my programming skills became useful for my job though. If it’s not for you I get you would rather look for a job.

    Good luck with your work my friend.

      Thanks, my A plan is to get thru this hell. I’d only like a summer job. Still, I feel like I should be able to show something up. I started AoC 2023 back in december, day 13 bricked me, and I haven’t gotten a 2nd wind yet, and time is running out.

      If I can ask for advice… I heard with leetcode (I’m not doing it, just heard) that if I don’t know the solution for something in 30 minutes, I should look it up. Does this apply to AoC? As I remember spending 8 hours on these puzzles and feeling awesome when I finally came up with a solution that worked. But I’ve gave day 13 two afternoons and I still can’t figure it out. I have ideas, but it’ll take like a week to code and test all of them, chances are they won’t even work. I know that two half days since december isn’t very dedicated, but I don’t know where tf did these 3 months go, I actually can’t remember what happened in jan-feb lol.
