A follow-up on Topcoder and Competitive Programming.
TCO 2023 will be the last TCO?
(Virtual) TopCoder Open 2023 Finals cancelled as well.

I found the following announcement on topcoder discord.

Few people give a sh*t about it. https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/109177

    Don't believe it?

    Take a look at this comment I posted two weeks ago before the thread and see how many people really gave a sh*t about it.

That's sad. While I haven't participated on the platform recently, I really hope they make a comeback, possibly with a better UX that allows for a regain in their popularity. As much respect as I hold for the platform, it has been quite some time since they lost their flair and personally, I feel bad for the authors setting high quality problems only for a few dozen contestants to participate.

I would say it is progress for top coder. No shit is better than shit.

There were many interesting problems to solve from past contests (especially TCO), so it's a big loss that the judge has become unavailable.

I wish it would be ported like GCJ...
