A bit different to what you are currently reading but I really enjoyed project Hail Mary and the Martian by Andy Weir. Some classics from the 70s like Solaris by Stanislaw Lem, Gateway by Frederik Pohl, The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
Day 07 ✅
Playing catch up again, at least this wasn't too bad. I'm sure there are ways to cut down the search space but 🤷
TIL you can pass a radix into toString which was very handy

I've ended up writing something like this in the past to time test time + gradle tasks + intellji shenanigans and then wrote the results to a file. So that I could argue why I needed a new work laptop 😅 It worked though, I got my new laptop!
I actually got the idea from a talk you did a while ago!
Day 06 ✅
Tried to keep it all immutable but part 2 took ~8mins 😅
Refactored it to be mutable and part 2 runs in ~500ms now
(I think the codes starting to get too big for the images)

Not that happy with part 2 but it will do, at least I am caught up now

Day 04 ✅
Playing catchup today, I've already managed to fall behind 😅
Can definitely be improved but I don't have time, using a try catch instead of checking boundaries feels gross but it works 🤷

Day 02 ✅
Made some silly mistakes in part 2 due to misreading the explanation, but made for some good debugging
I feel like there's a better way than brute forcing but its day 02 🤷
