A series of ICPC tutorials?

By kpw29, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hi Codeforces,

Following a silver medal at ICPC Moscow WF 2021, I'll be finishing my 10 years long competitive programming career. It was a fun time, and I think I've learned quite a lot of useful things which helped our team to win a medal.

If you'd like a series of blogs containing useful tips, tricks and other random remarks, upvote this blog so that I have sufficient motivation to create them. I already have outlines of four tutorials touching different topics, maybe there'll be more if I have something interesting to say. But ofc I won't write anything if the community is not interested.

Also credits for YouKn0wWho as his blogs and library inspired me to also share some stuff.

Sure.

I don't understand this "should I do it" approach though. Just write the first blog and see if people like it. Similarly, I didn't like Should I start writing regular blogs? (which was followed by a series of great blogs). IMO, it makes sense only if you ask for suggestions.

      I need more contribution. But my sense of humour is incompatible with the community, and when I try to be funny I get downvoted... So I have to write useful blogs instead, oh no..

What about making some videos instead if You can ? (I think me and problably other people are more comfortable with watching videos rather than reading blogs.) BTW thanks for considering to help the community by sharing what you know.

    Thanks for the suggestion! But I don't think I would make a good video. :(
