This is my solution to part 1 of day 8 #AdventOfCode22.

Every year I start Advent of Code with the ambition of getting of as far as a I possibly can. This year was no different, 2 stars for the first 6 days, then nothing.

I just ran out of steam and time, there's just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do everything!

I’m keeping my solutions to #adventofcode22 here https://github.com/jgnagy/aoc2022 where I’m trying to solve each day in #ruby, #crystal, and #elixir. Today’s was fun.

I’m sure none of my solutions are the best, but my goal is to keep learning and have some fun.

Earlier today I talked about the little proc_macro-based CLI I wrote for #AdventOfCode22... and it's now available on GitHub! 🦀😎
I'll also push my solutions there 🔥

#Rust #RustLang

One of the things I’m proud about - is the range of technical stuff I’m au fait with. So firing up ChatGPT and seeing it … just able to do all sorts of technical things … depressed me a little. Stuff I’d spent a lifetime learning can just be trivially replicated by this AI.

So today I tried to use it in the practical task of completing the #AdventOfCode22 day 5 challenge.

Okay, solved day 3 of #AdventOfCode22. I had a cursed solution based on RegExes for part 1 but had to generalise for part 2 and the solution without RegExes is nicer. I don't have a "simple" solution yet, though.

I definitely already learned a bunch of stuff about Array.prototype methods.
