The Adventures of Blink: Advent of Code 2024

Hey pals! I decided to participate in the Advent of Code this year. If you're not familiar, it's a coding challenge that releases one small problem every day from December 1 to December 25. You can solve the problem in any language you like.

You can totally participate in the challenge and try to make it onto the leaderboard if you desire (the first 100 correct solutions score points each day)... but I'm just using the challenge as a way to sharpen my skills.

I'm posting my solutions to this GitHub repo. I also intend to release a summary blog post reviewing my experience at the end.

If you even dabble in programming, this is a great exercise for you... come try it out!

(And of course, I'd love for you to follow The Adventures of Blink - stop by and read a post or two, or come by the Youtube channel and watch the first two seasons in their entirety!)
