Finally <3

This was a little challenging! Part 2 caught me by surprise, I wasn't ready for a parse-heavy day. Would have taken more time if not for REPL driven workflow that helped me "vibe check" my forms (Hah!). Another happy and educational day for this #clojure intern! #AdventOfCode

I just completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/5 This was too easy, I actually merged the bits for part 2 early on and ended up a sub minute part-2 solution! #AdventOfCode2025 #Clojure

I've completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4 This was easy! Yeah I experimented a little with pmap and gave it a ~3x boost. Will check it later and see if I should incorporate it. Did learn some cool stuff though. #clojure

I've completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3 I struggled with this one more than I should. Greed is good when it comes to algorithms.

Day 2 - this was fun. I always brush up my #regex before #AdventOfCode each year and it paid off on the second day! No edge cases this time. I do think there could be a mathematical way to do this though! Maybe I'll check later! Again, used my new favourite programming language #clojure

I have a feeling it's going to be an intense #adventofcode this year! Such a beautiful day 1. Glad I picked #clojure <3

Did some #adventofcode for the first time in #Clojure, warming up for 2025 github.com/code-shoily/... Such joy this language is to code with.

Surprisingly, as I explained pattern matching to my son, he grasped it quite fast, faster than some interns (circa 2010) who already knew programming. Glass being empty has its merits. The same goes for Erlang style concurrency, although no coding was involved there but good old ELI5. #elixirlang

I think #elixirlang is a great programming language to start programming with, even (and especially) for youngsters. Going to see if my son likes it. He is 10, loves geography and weather, and loved looking at some of the charts and data explorations I was doing. I know where to begin #LiveBook

Fli is so great! One of #fsharp 's gems I listed in a blog post urging to consider fsharp. Another gem is FsHttp. My post if interested: asfaload.com/blog/conside...

This is why starting repositories is a useful habit, I recall being impressed with this #fsharp library and intended to use it but then forgot the name and googling for it was hard. Glad I found it github.com/CaptnCodr/Fli

This is hands down my favourite operator #fsharp #elixir Interesting to know some history learn.microsoft.com/en-au/archiv...

Looking forward to this!

Back doing #adventofcode ... missed a few and have a lot to catch up, let's start with the easy one.. Day 25. It was super fun to make, I came up with the (no pun intended) schematics in my head and then the code took like ~5 minutes. Again, #fsharp <3

I missed more #adventofcode puzzles than I usually do. I blame the flu. Going to get back to it. Also might be doing one or two in #elixirlang for a change, to test the 1.18 water.

I wanted to look into just enough C# to assist my #fsharp journey but quality posts shared by Alvin got me more interested in #csharp than I had planned for. I am glad I followed @alvinashcraft.com excellent dew drops of software engineering goodies!! Thank you 🙏

#adventofcode day 10 and 11 using #fsharp ... either this year's easy or I am more comfortable with F#. Loved the problems! I do want some advice on the way I did day 11 though. Anyway to generalize the int64? It was annoying to type (and gave me wrong answers when it was int)

#adventofcode2024 day6, 7 and 8 - the weekend days. Day 6: Code I am not as proud of, lengthy thought process and lots of squinting at my code. Day 7: Makes up for previous days bad code, loved solving it Day 8: Nostalgia. Geometry. Highschool. Brute forcing for life! #adventofcode #fsharp

#adventofcode2024 day 5 seems to be an unofficial sequel of #adventofcode2018 day 4 (I remember because I was just doing it as part of pre-event warm up). The way this year's event is taking the way of nostalgia, I wonder if this will be the 10th and final season :(

Working on #adventofcode2024 day 5 was such a wholesome experience! Lots of pipes and arrows! #adventofcode #fsharp

#adventofcode2024 day 4. I thought Part 2 will be a bit more difficult or something like find only non-overlapping ones, but it was actually more pleasant to code. Here's my #fsharp solution to this! #adventofcode

It’s interesting to code #fsharp and #elixir back to back. While often the codes “structurally” look related with patterns and pipes and all, writing them feels so different, I make use of backspace a lot.

This was very easy. #adventofcode day 3 aka Regex with some Toboggan nostalgia. I was dreading a non-regexable Part 2 but looks like it wasn't it :D And I don't think I'll ever use any other language for AoC (or any kind of problem solving, interviews included). #fsharp <3

#adventofcode day 2 went well. Although, I'm still a bit salty for having to brute force part 2 (moreso because an edge case blocked me from doing my beauful state based quasi-solution). As yesterday, done in beautiful #fsharp <3

#AdventOfCode 2024 day 1 done in #fsharp

Preparing for Advent of Code 2024. With #fsharp this year. Here’s the repo- I am not happy to my code but trying github.com/code-shoily/...
