- the puzzles are mostly about scaling (this is the case when you wrote a "quick" nested loop, but with that logic, there'd need to be 12 nested loops for part 2...)

- pay attention to the input (`split_whitespace` is not always going to save you)

- stop using `unwrap` everywhere

- etc.

Okay, so mostly due to a terrible cold, I couldn't catch up with #AdventOfCode this year and wrote some very horrifying Rust code but have been taking some chaotic notes:

- remainder and mod are not the same, also `rem_euclid` is very nice

- understand the problem correctly (applies everywhere)

Excited to find out if #AdventOfCode being only 12 days this year will make me more likely to complete it this time.

Wondering how using AI coding tools impacts how we learn technical skills? Good news:

@rivea0 and I are speaking about this at @ffconf in Brighton on the Nov 14th! There's still a few tickets left if you've been meaning to come along and say hello!

The last point is especially a huge problem because this is not a good long-term planning strategy (where will the seniors of the next generation come from?), but then again, long-term planning has never been a strength of the industry.
