For the ninth(!) year in a row, I will be releasing 25 programming puzzles over the first 25 days of December over on adventofcode.com! It's completely free thanks to AoC++ supporters and thanks to sponsors. If you want to check it out early, all past puzzles are still up!

If you're doing #AdventOfCode and learning stuff, but your code's a mess, you got the wrong answer, you're a few days behind, it took you several hours, you're in a language you're not familiar with... All I hear is that you're learning stuff. You're doing great!! 🌟❤️🎄🧑‍🎄

As an AWS user, I often want to know the cheapest options for compute resources given some project-specific criteria. So, I made a tool to show me that data in a way that is useful to me. Maybe it will be useful to you, too: compute-cost.com

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free and in whatever programming language you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟 The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

For Christmas, I made you 25 days of free programming puzzles. I hope you like them. 💕 🚨 We're less than two hours away from this year's #AdventOfCode 2022! 🚨 PS: How'd you first hear about AoC? I don't exactly advertise.

The next time an interviewer asks you to solve FizzBuzz, impress them by doing it without a programming language.
