Advent of code 2023 - day 5 (excel + C#)

The elves are asking for help to organize and understand their food production problem. I started this exercise with excel and switched to C# to solve the second part of the problem.

Advent of code 2023 - day 4 (SQL)

The elves are asking for help with their scratchcards. Over 200 of them! This is a sign of a serious gambling addiction. Now, usually I would not help them with such a task because it reinforces the addiction. On the other, this is a good programming practice, so it's a win-win ;) Today I'm using SQL to organize the cards and solve their problem.

Advent of code 2023 - day 3 (Haskell)

The elves need to use a gondola lift to continue their adventure, but it's not working 😲. To fix the engine, I decided to give Haskell a go. I was heavily invested in Haskell a few years ago, but other priorities and projects made me lose interest. When I started this puzzle, I had forgotten most of it. I believe Haskell is beautiful as a pure functional language that is well suited for a few specific projects. But being able to write efficient, easy to read code is an art that requires a lot of time and practice. Practice that I have not had in a long time, as you will see. I am writing this article to describe my thought process.

Advent of code 2023 - day 2 (C++)

It's a new day in the Advent! Today the elves are playing with cubes. This time I decided to use C++ to solve their problem.

Advent of code 2023 - day 1 (F#)

It's that time of the year again. It's almost Christmas. You might look forward to opening presents, spending time with family, or enjoying good food. But for developers who enjoy a challenge this is the time to time wake up early for new puzzles to unlock. Yes! It's Advent of code. Let's take a look at what Eric Wastl has to offer this year.
