Huge thanks

[typescriptAoC]

Just want to say a huge thanks for this repo. Would say am relatively experienced dev (js/ts). Decent at frontend/backend/reacty/nexty/nodey stuff but am a complete noob when it comes to any heavy lifting with algorithms. This is my first time doing AoC, really enjoying it. I can solve most of them with basic loops/brute force, though already have run into issues on day 5 pt 2 using this approach (thought 'oh this is easy, just generate a massive list of seeds using the ranges and then run the same loop'. Wouldn't even generate the seeds before the laptop threatened to explode :)).

Is so helpful to see how someone else approaches the problem from a more algorithmic angle - especially when the code is so well documented and clean.

Will be following along. Thanks again!

That’s genuinely lovely to hear, thank you.

And Day 5, part 2 was a bear! I don’t have a strong CS background, so often I’m the one brute forcing or feverishly googling algorithms. I somehow managed to come up with something on this one though.
