Maybe I'm a dinosaur but I'm utterly mystified by folks who are interested in making the leaderboard or even solving AoC puzzles with AI assistance. To me it feels like going to a 5k charity run, taking a motorcycle to the finish line, and parading your gold medal around. Like, who are you impressing? And are you even proud of yourself?
I understand the appeal of using the best and fastest means when there are real-world stakes — taking a motorcycle is better than running for many transport scenarios. But the whole point of this is to have fun! Is it fun to hit <tab> over and over?
