If a shorter AoC means a happier Eric Wastl and more years of AoC in the future, then that's fine by me!

And goddamn that global leaderboard was just LLM-fodder the last few years anyway

This!

Some time ago I was actually thinking about the exact thing in his statement. I mean even if the problems are structurally almost the same each year, it must be a huge time investment to come up with the stories and give them a little twist each year.

Either Eric should chill out and make it smaller, while still keeping the fun or some rich guys should pay him lots of money to make this his full-time job. The former is probably the healthier path for eric and the game

That's fair. I've never actually managed to get through the entire advent any year anyway

I was thinking the same, but then it will probably be hard to get past day 6, because the complexity will ramp up faster
