Atlassian can't even keep their status page up, wtf are they doing over there

Buy so many and scatter them around the house so they're little Easter eggs when you need them

It do work still

CCC vs GCC A Guide to comparing Claude Code Compiler with GCC

Claude's C Compiler vs. GCC | Discussion

Last time I watched this was 2ish years ago and it's definitely different since then. They're editing episodes 6+ years after they're released??

Rewatching Silicon Valley and I swear they've made extremely minor changes in nearly every episode, adding voice lines that are under a second long. It's all over the place

Advent of Code 2025 done! 🥳

I'm actually glad this year was shorter, made it way less stressful. Got trolled a bit on the final problem, but this was a lot of fun :)

Good luck!!!!!

Day 10: fletcheaston.com/advent-of-co...

Advent of Code Day 11 Part 1 solution, using a recursive CTE to calculate paths between nodes.

Advent of Code 2025 Day 10 Part 2 solution, using Python/z3 inside of a Postgres database to solve systems of equations.

Advent of Code 2025 Days 10/11 blog posts now up!

Day 10 Part 2 sucked, I hate that the standard solution for those problems is "just use z3". But glad I could do something fun at least

Day 11 was the first time I nailed using a recursive CTE with zero assistance, very happy about that! 😁

Yeah 😅

Personal times for Advent of Code 2025.

Screenshot of Postico 2 with my table definitions for Day 11 Part 2.

Advent of Code 2025 Day 11 done!

Part 2 just required memoization 🤦‍♂️ took way longer than it should have, but at least Part 1 was easy!!

Still drained from Day 10, gonna chill for tonight and do a write-up tomorrow

Screenshot of Postico 2 SQL workbench tool showing two statements. The first is "CREATE EXTENSION plpython3u;", which creates the Python extension (allowing you to run Python code from SQL). The second is creating a function that uses the z3-solver library in Python, but the function is defined in Postgres using the plpython3u extension.

Ended up using Z3, but at least I found a way to do something a little fun with it

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

If you can't beat em, join em ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not thrilled about it but did find a workaround 😝

I hate having to fall back to Z3 for these problems 😭

Oh well, tomorrow problem!

First night I'm not solving both parts in one go 😭 Part 1 was a bit challenging but my brute-force solution worked. I seemingly can't get a fast enough BFS solution for Part 2, so matter what I do

Glad I could help 😄

Today was also the fastest I've finished AoC this year! 6:41 for Part 1, 36:10 for Part 2

Advent of Code 2025 Day 9 done!

I knew exactly what Part 2 would be as soon as I saw Part 1. I didn't bother coming up with a general solution, just wrote a quick and dirty query with some shortcuts

Plotted the points in Desmos to help find those shortcuts 😎
