    I have worked with most of these people at one point or another. I used to sit next to an old architect like walters. He had so many patents the company only recognize him on every 10th one.

    What is this meme about? “Competition”, “Leaderboard”, “Waiting for the timer to hit 0:00”? I am so confused.

      Competitive programming.

      Usually multiple algorithmic problems that are released to public at the same time and the fastest people to submit a correct solution get more points.

      A fun one I still like to participate in is advent of code, which is a yearly christmas themed one with two problems released a day during advent.

      If you want to seriously compete in competitive programming, you need to learn and memorize different problem types and the solutions to those. A bit like you start learning patterns in chess.

      For practicing, the CSES Problem Set is a gold mine for practice problems. Theres also a list of competitive programming books on the site.

    I can really emphasise with Samir. Working in healthcare I’m basically limited to just the Office applications. However in the past few years I’ve been able to cook up solutions by reading / writing to file based databases, and using VBA to generate and bind to HTML contents on the fly for the built in IE11 instance. It’s as close to getting to some kind of web-stack within the confines of IT Sec in healthcare.
