Any interest in an Advent of Code thread? (awful.systems)

The wider community is still on Reddit, I wonder if there’s an interest to have a small alternative?

If not, what’s a good Lemmy instance for these things?

sure, I’m down for it if we’ve got enough folks interested

probably best to participate in-house too, given all the programming-specific instances I know of are rife with reply guys

I’m tentatively down for this, albeit the next time I finish AoC it’ll be the first. Life always seemed to throw me a curveball about a week in every time I’ve tried

I tend to get caught up in FOMO with AoC, which every year I swear to try to avoid.

The thread should be a safe space.

for my part it's usually just a focus problem. mixture of extremely severe adhd, and life shit -> bad outcome for pet projects when out of spoons

[–] self@awful.systems 3 points 1 year ago

I relate with that to a gigantic extent. a lot of my pet projects enter a guilt-exhaustion loop when I run out of spoons, and some don’t recover from that
