Anyone doing Advent of Code this year? It is an annual event consisting of a series of programming challenges which are released throughout December. I have been attempting these coding challenges for a few years now, and credit it with helping me drastically improve my programming skills. There is normally 25 different challenges, 1 released each day leading up to christmas day, however this year there will only be 12 challenges.

I’ve not been active in the testing community much this year because I’ve recently given birth to my beautiful daughter Nora, so will not be taking part in the annual challenge with the same enthusiasm as previous years. However, on the rare occasion that I can get to my PC, I will be attempting a few of this years coding challenges.

@pmichielsen You have taken part in this in previous years, will you be taking part this year?

Yes, and just as in 5he past years, I’m not even trying to attempt the full set of quizzes, even though there are ‘only’ 12 days this year.

As always I’m seriously enjoying the stories around the quizzes as much as the quizzes themselves. 😃
