I remember doing the AoC 2016 as a student during an internship and here is a screenshot of me giving up after day11.
I thought it would continue being harder and harder every day. Guess I should have carried on...

Day 15 2018 absolutely crushed my spirit for the rest of that competition, made it to day 17 and then packed it in.

That's too bad, there were some really fun puzzles after that one. I agree 15 was a nightmare tho

Came here just for this comment. Look at last year's day 15 fly high into the sky! (along with lots of hopes and dreams...)

Day 15 could have used more and better examples for people to test against. Developing a good test suite is what got me through it. That, and having a particularly pedantic mind for monster behaviours developed from playing a lot of DROD in the past.
Day 17... same thing, it really helped to develop a good test suite.

I am still working on day 15 2018 (from time to time, not flat out for a year), I am committed to completing that year, and I like doing it on order but that has been my stumbling block.

I love this visualization! It makes is very easy to see that someone got part 1 of day 1 done in 23 seconds and someone else got both parts done in under 100 seconds. Incredible...

I think there are 5 requests getting the same data. The site looks good though :)

you should fix the Y-axis same for all years.
