It took me two videos and over 2 hours, but I finally solved the Day 1 - Part 2 Advent of Code 2025 challenge! I wonder if I’m that is the slowest time on record? At least the slowest time anyone would admit too.
Apparently solving Advent of Code problems is not my strong suite. They remind me of university assignments which I never really liked and is a big reason for not perusing a Master’s or PhD. Hopefully someone will just give me an honorary Master’s or PhD one day.
[Read More]In this episode I explain how I previously solved Day 1 - Part 1 of the Advent of Code 2025 problem. I then proceed to fail to solve part 2, though I think I was close. I got stuck in the “keep trying random stuff” mindset instead of sitting back and thinking about the problem. A problem that is magnified when I’m recording as I have to think and talk at the same time.

[Read More]In this episode I attempt the Advent of Code Day 12 challenge. I didn’t get very far as I struggled to figure out how imports work in Python. Is it just me or did others struggle importing Python files?
