okay so I had this idea
imagine you get 100 coins and you have to build the best competitive programmer possible by buying different skills
every skill has a price and you can't spend more than 100 coins
here's the shop:
Mathematical intuition — 25, Algorithm knowledge — 25, Implementation speed — 15, Debugging — 15, Creative problem solving — 25, Pattern recognition — 20, Proofs and correctness — 15, Contest pressure management — 15, Consistency — 20, Optimization — 15, Reading statements carefully — 10, Learning from editorials — 15, Time management — 10, Finding counterexamples — 15,
you can buy whatever combination you want, as long as you stay within 100 coins.
now the interesting part is that you obviously can't buy everything.
would you spend most of your coins on algorithms and maths? or would you invest in things like debugging, consistency and not panicking during contests?
also, don't just drop your build. explain why you picked those skills. feel free to argue with someone else's choices too.
I'm curious what kind of builds people at different ratings come up with.
100 coins. what's your build?

I would just buy the basics or habits so you can improve or learn other skills.
{Consistency — 20;Time management — 10;Contest pressure management — 15;Creative problem solving — 25;70/100 coins used;Buy ice cream for 30 coins.}My build would be : ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
Bro, your codeforces programming journey is insane!
I'll take that as a compliment, thank you.
