🎩✨ Ah, the noble quest to solve the noble Hashtable Packing Problem — because #chess isn't hard enough without dragging Magic Bitboards into the mix. 🧙‍♂️🔮 Spoiler alert: it's still an NP-complete nightmare, but hey, at least you can feel smart for trying! 💤🔍

Ah yes, the mythical #monorepo 🦄—where dreams of "productivity" go to die. This 3458-word odyssey will have you thinking you can bottle Google’s fairy dust, but you'll end up with a jar of "productive" hot air. After 17 minutes, you'll be yearning for the simplicity of a Post-it note. 📜➡️🗑️

📚🤖 Ah, the fine art of #averaging in Prolog! Because why use a calculator when you can write a dissertation just to sum a list? 🎓🧠 Prolog: the language for those who enjoy torturing themselves with recursive gymnastics instead of solving real problems. 🚀💥

Why bother with the Sisyphean task of migrating from Prettier and ESLint to #BiomeJS when you can just use a 🪓 to #refactor your entire codebase? It's like trading your bicycle for a tricycle and expecting to win the Tour de France. 🚴‍♂️💨

🚀✨ In a world where programmers can't simply write their own tree traversal functions, the desperate plea for a "tree traversal primitive" echoes throughout the digital wilderness. 🌳🤦‍♂️ Because clearly, the only thing stopping developers from untangling the spaghetti in their code is the lack of a native tree-hugging loop. 🥴🙌

🐛💻 Oh, look! Another riveting tale of how the brightest minds in computer science can't even nail down a common worm. 🥳 Thirteen years of digital poking and prodding, and the C. elegans is still living its best life in the land of mystery. Bravo, #OpenWorm, for keeping failure fashionable! 👏

Spent the rest of the day trying to bring those animations back. Not sure if I’m going about it the right way, but hey, that’s development for you! 🎭 Still have one last operation to move to the background. Tomorrow’s problem, I guess! 😴 #CodingChallenges #BuildInPublic

🚀 Behold the pyrotechnics of the programming world: yet another "easy" language that promises to be "uniquely customizable" but ends up being a convoluted geometry lesson in disguise. 🎨💻 The syntax is so "simple" you'll need a degree in pattern recognition just to match what this abstract art piece calls an "object". 🤯📐

🧩 Ah yes, yet another series of programming puzzles that will surely make you the #internationalization #wizard 🧙‍♂️ you've always dreamed of becoming. With an anticipation-building release schedule and riveting discussions on #Discord and #Reddit, it's basically a hot new Marvel movie premiere 🍿—only with more coding and less excitement. 🌍

Ah, yet another 'game-changing' framework nobody asked for. 🐢🎉 For those who thought the Rust ecosystem was missing an obscure REPL shell, rejoice! Because obviously what developers need is more time navigating GitHub's labyrinthine menus than actually writing code. 🙄🔍

From debugging to making managerial decisions, it seems these models need to step up their game.

And don’t forget, they couldn't even access the internet for help! The earth is round, but AI coding skills need development.

Go has its pain points too: 1 loop, but X ways to create a struct, no optional parameters, but ugly multi-parameter workarounds, interface{} is any, but not every any is an interface{}. Sounds silly, but I really like the error handling.

#CompetitiveProgramming

AoC kicks off in about 15 hours and 19 minutes! Being in the UK, I won’t be doing the 5:00 am grind to compete.

This year, I’m thinking of tackling it in Golang with strict TDD—but I might fall back to Kotlin. What about you?

#AdventOfCode #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #CodingChallenges

As I'm looking for my next job, I'm passing #codingchallenges again - I didn't do that for more 10 than years. Yet, it looks like I'm still in the game 🤘

And one reviewer called my code "smooth" 😊

If you’re into #codingchallenges, CodeHUB seems like a nice app and is free today, part of #indieappsanta (yes, it’s still going)

¿Te acuerdas del #SoloNoPuedesConAmigosSi?

Si sientes que esto es lo que te pasa cuando conoces una nueva tecnología en una charla y quieres seguir profundizando: Dilo.

MadridJUG no solo es cosa de charlas, también podemos juntarnos a hacer cosas juntos #Katas #CodingDojos #CodingChallenges o cualquier otra cosa que se te ocurra que sea divertido o mejor hacer juntos...
