I learned the term ‘struggle porn’ somewhere along the way — if you are spending all the time reading about how to be successful, instead of doing anything by yourself then congratulations, you are just on some struggle porn binge on your own. Of course, by going through those articles you will probably assume that the only thing you lack is just do it approach — all of the rest is already there, right? For sure you have a great vision, huge amount of ideas about ‘what you would like to do when you finally have time for anything’, dozen of ways to perhaps make some extra cash on the side from it… But if only you had that time, right?

From the beginning of December, the website AdventOfCode.com offers daily challenges for software developers to solve as programming exercises. You write code on your own in any language you prefer for the input provided by the website, and then you have to send back the results. At the moment I do it as a warm‑up before starting my work day.
