Don't beat yourself up so much, it's challenging to the majority of developers.

The article itself sums things up well "Most of the puzzles are in the realm of either string processing (somewhat applicable to programming), logic puzzles (not really applicable to most programming), or stupid gotchas in the input format (annoyingly, very applicable to most programming)."



The largest challenge is in having enough energy after work to sit down and start coding again.


I really feel this one, it's hard for me to work on personal projects after a long day at work


To be fair, when I look at my private leaderboards the only seriously committed individuals seem to be either 10x devs or unemployed.


Yeah I only ever get started after I've been on holiday for a bit.
