An opportunity to learn: Advent of Code [blog]

Read Original

The article discusses the Advent of Code, an annual series of programming puzzles. It covers recent changes to the event, such as reducing the challenge days from 24 to 12 and removing the global leaderboard. The author suggests using the puzzles for learning new languages or skills and controversially proposes using them as a controlled environment to experiment with and evaluate AI coding assistants and local LLMs.
