#programmingchallenge — Public Fediverse posts

🎄🤖 Behold, the gloriously repetitive Advent of Code 2025! Eric Wastl, the patron saint of nerdy masochists, has graced us with another year of "fun" puzzles to boost your mental self-loathing. But hey, at least Picnic Technologies is hiring for every programming language under the sun! 🍎💻

Programming Mission: Let’s Fix the Fediverse Discovery Gap

Here’s a small but powerful challenge for #openweb builders – and a perfect #DIY project if you’re fed up with the current #geekproblem. I’ve been trying to find #Fediverse instances that actually cover my town, Oxford, UK, so I can help promote and grow them locally. You’d think this would be simple, right? But… nope.

Tried the standard “instance pickers”? Dead ends. Tried generic web searches? Useless #SEO sludge. Tried maps like this one, a good start […]

Oh joy, another riveting deep dive into the riveting world of "retrobootstrapping" #Rust, because apparently we all needed a time-traveling #coding headache 🤯. I'm sure the reasons are *totally* clear—assuming you're a software archaeologist with a penchant for masochism 😂.

Ah, finally! A window manager written in Prolog—because that's exactly what the world needed. 🙄 Let's use a logic programming language for something best done in C, because who doesn't love a good challenge? 🚀

I love the correct recontextualization of "programming challenges" as "riddles.

#gameDev
#codeGolf is a #game right?? "Challenges" and all that. #programmingChallenge #programming

I modified my little NUD language to basically be vi but for #lisp lists. Er, if I do say so. YMMV

Alternately, propose your own challenges for me and others to solve (I'll add them to the git here: https://codeberg.org/tfw/nud/src/branch/master/golf.org )

If anyone wants help trying or has other commentary, lmk here or during the show.

@danyspin97

Regarding the #ProgrammingChallenge you posted about on June 7, 2018...

That would appeal more to me if it was 20 days and if we were all doing the same algo each day as each other, for more interesting comparisons.

Then we can see how the algos look in different langs, and refresh our familiarity of stuff we haven't seen since CompSci class, or new stuff.

@surveyor
I was thinking about 100 days of code.
You have to write an algorithm each day, using whatever language you like, and share it here on Mastodon.

Be clever or be simple, just have fun!

Would anyone be interested in a Mastodon #ProgrammingChallenge ?
