What about Nonagon ?

Everyone has to initially..

Support the indians in the argument cmon man.

Right, we all have learnt from external resources. I don't see how, it is a bad thing though. It just shows we are eager to learn and contribute further building on what already is there. Don't forget the good things people have to say about Indian youtubers(speaking of external resources) teaching stuff. Also More Population = More Competition = Better Stuff in the long run.

You're missing context here. The guy above was justifying India's greatness by saying that this round's setter is an Indian, and i was simply saying that India had very little to do with how skilled he is rn, and that he mostly relied on external resources for learning, like most Indians here.

"Also More Population = More Competition = Better Stuff in the long run"

Overpopulation is almost always a bad thing, there are a lot more disadvantages than advantages.

By saying India OP.. He was just cheering up.. And maybe you had a funny/sarcastic intention but think about the subject of your comments initially.. Making fun of population of any country can be seen as rude

a statement being rude doesn't necessarily make it false, people should develop a bit of tolerance, it's very easy to live in a fairytale being in denial of the problems that surround you. Pointing out the problem or ridiculing it helps expose it.

let me ask you one thing what country are you from? because every country has its problem. i m not denying that india doesnt have problems but we are trying to solve those and even if you want to expose our problems do it in a polite manner that doesnt hurt other feelings. our roads might be filled with garbage but your mind and mouth is filled with a lot more and a piece of advice instead of wasting your time here writing stupid comments and creating controversies why dont you participate in a contest and get atleast rated

I'm Indian. Every country has it's problems for sure, but some are way worse than others, like this one. I don't think i was being too rude, you guys are too sensitive. Calling my comments stupid is easy, give me valid reasons for why they're stupid. I'm doing good on my original account.

Yeah every country has its problems and making fun of your own country's problem on an international platform is in no way gonna solve your country's problems. If you can't contribute to solve those problems then simply stfu

i disagree, i personally changed my mind about a lot of things by listening to other people ridicule and criticize my ideas, and I've seen it work for lots of other people too. Ridiculing is helpful as it exposes how truly ridiculous your opinions were, politeness doesn't always work, people don't take you seriously if you're too polite, speaking from experience. Also, I am working on some stuff atm that'll improve the quality of education here hopefully, but i wouldn't tell someone to stfu because they're not contributing, either what they're saying is valid or it isn't, them contributing has nothing to do with the validity of what they're saying, unless it's directly related to contributing.

Good to know that you are contributing to the Education but I think you should be sensible enough to not respond to those over-patriotic cringe proud comments everywhere. They will naturally get downvoted. Nothing can't be done about them. But ridiculing your own country's problems on an international platform in no way makes sense to me. If you think that you can contribute to solve or reduce the intensity of those problems. Then just do it internally. If you think ridiculing your country's problems on an international platform will expose them, then you are wrong. You will only motivate the racists that are everywhere. If you don't believe me you can read comments on this blog. It's just one example of many such occurrences. I know I am gonna be downvoted on this one. But that's what I wanted to say. Peace Out

"If you think ridiculing your country's problems on an international problem will expose them, then you are wrong. You will only motivate the racists that are everywhere."

I agree that there is some truth to this, I'll be more tactful next time. Yes I did expect a lot of downvotes from cringy patriots, but I said it anyway for the non-deluded crowd just to make them think about it, but i guess i could've done it in a more civil way. Appreciate the reply.

Bhai, Hum aapko hi vote denge, aap election me to khade ho jayiye, kaha aap yeh competitive programming ke chakkar me phas gaye

Yes, there are problems. More than often, I have cursed the Indian Education System myself. But u were simply being disrespectful. There is a way to put your opinion on a public platform. I am not saying that there is some magic in "Indian Environment". I was just putting forth the point that people excel in our environment as well.

Yes i agree that I could've expressed my points in a better way, I'll give you that.

"I was just putting forth the point that people excel in our environment as well"

And i agree, there are people like that, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the environment itself is generally good, because if it were, we would see Ashish Guptas everywhere (not implying that everyone should be like Ashish Gupta, I'm just giving an example).

yes, the number of good coders in India is very less. And none of the top 20,30 coders are Indian. Even in software area we are pretty weak in innovation. That is the reason we are producing CEOs like Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella but not people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.

its same as glass is half filled half empty if you want to live ur life seeing the negative things and ignoring the positive then thats your problem but be grateful that u r living in india people in other countries arent getting 1 per cent of what u r getting here as far as problems are concerned codeforces isnt the platform to discuss go to fb or insta or whatsapp status and write your heart out peace jai hind
