                Tips for getting on the Advent of Code leaderboard
              
          
    Hi, I'm mcpower. I've done Advent of Code seriously for two years now in Python, placing 9th in 2018 and 12th in 2017. This year, I'm taking a break from aiming for the leaderboard - while it's fun and all, it is a bit stressful at times (the good kind of stress, though!). As such, I'd like to share a few tips for anyone wanting to aim for the leaderboard.
This is everything that worked for me. Your mileage may vary, though - don't take this as gospel, see what works for you.
Go fast

Go fast.

    Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.
Don't re-invent a date time library yourself.
If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.
Falsehoods


There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
